About this resource
Description
Good researchers start with a question and then go looking for facts that answer it. This locating information to answer a question worksheet walks 3rd grade students through that process step by step, from choosing a question to backing up their answer with the facts they found.
Students first write a question they want to answer on the line at the top. Next, they search books, articles, or websites and record three facts in the first box. In the second box they draw a picture of what they learned, and in the last box they write their answer and explain why they think it is right. Because children choose their own question and sources, the page works with any science or social studies topic, and every response will be unique. This 3rd grade research worksheet is a great fit for library time, a science unit, or a homework project.
What’s Included
- One locating information to answer a question worksheet page
- A question line plus three numbered boxes for facts, a drawing, and a written answer
- Writing lines sized for 3rd grade handwriting
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, it teaches children to read with a purpose, looking for the facts that matter to one question. Second, recording facts before answering shows students how to support an answer with evidence. Third, drawing what they learned helps visual learners remember the information and explain it in their own words.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Brainstorm good research questions together before students begin, such as how a bat finds food at night or why leaves change color. Model how to skim a nonfiction book using headings and the index to find facts quickly. Let students share their answers with a partner and point to the fact that supports each part. Keep a stack of copies handy so children can research a new question whenever they are curious.
