About this resource
Description
Good researchers know that a question is only the first step. This using resources to answer questions worksheet helps second graders write a question about a topic they are studying, look for facts in two different resources, and then use what they found to write a clear answer in their own words.
Students start by writing their question on the top line. Next, they check two resources, such as a library book, a children’s encyclopedia, a trusted website, or a video their teacher shares, and record what each one says in the numbered boxes. Last, they put the facts together and write the answer on the four lines at the bottom. Because every child picks their own question, the page works with any science, social studies, or reading topic.
What’s Included
- One printable page with a question line, two resource note boxes, and four answer lines
- Roomy 2nd grade writing lines sized for young handwriting
- A reusable format that fits any research topic
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, it teaches children that answers come from sources, not guesses, which is the heart of early research. Second, comparing two resources shows students how facts can agree or add new details. Third, turning notes into a written answer builds the writing skills they will use in reports all year long.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use this 2nd grade research worksheet during a science or social studies unit, in a library center, or as a take-home project with a parent. Model the page first with a class question such as how bees make honey, then let partners try their own. Keep a stack of copies handy so the using resources to answer questions worksheet becomes a routine every time a new question comes up.
