There are 9 pages of living things research topics, space to illustrate and answers. The research is based on the letters of the alphabet, so the sheets can be distributed to the students as a research project over time. Alternatively, the sheets can be cut into 26 individual smaller projects, I have found in the past that this is a good activity for students who finish work quickly or are motivated to do more work. When the questions have been answered, the students illustrate the subject of their research on the sheet. Answers included.

My General Knowledge Task Pages contain 10 pages of mainly geography based general knowledge questions. There are various types of activities, most of them require the students to conduct research and find answers to the questions. We all have the lessons that finish 5 or 10 minutes before breaks, there is not enough time to begin another topic and too long for the students to sit not doing work. I would create different activities and the student could choose what they wanted to do, it kept them interested, filled in the excess time and they learned as well. I used these activities in other ways as well, they were suitable as homework activities, used as group work to encourage discussion, for those students who always finished their work quickly or kept in a booklet that the students could complete during the term. Answers are included in the unit.

This is a 15 page unit looking at the problems associated with the increase of feral animals in most countries of the world. It investigates some of the worst offenders and the damage that these animals are doing to ecosystems, environment and native animals.

A Dinosaur Themed Unit - Updated - OCTOBER, 2015 This is a unit of work based around the theme of dinosaurs. The unit is heavily biased towards research, literacy and science. This unit is the updated version of a previous unit on dinosaurs, featuring an extra 35 pages of activities. There are 65 pages of activities which can be spread over 4 weeks, the project topics included could be researched in depth which would assist students understanding of the topic and increase the length of time required to complete the unit. I feel that the unit can be adapted by the teacher to suit various grade levels.
