Online Research About Migration

2nd Grade will do some research on the internet about migration and bats. Each student will find a different fact about migration or bats and save this fact so they can write it on the document I provide. We will put all of the facts together to create one class book of facts about migration and bats.

Steps:

1. Use the links below to research a fact.

2. When you find an interesting fact, copy and paste it into a Word document. YOU MUST REMEMBER WHERE YOU FOUND YOUR FACT (write it down!).

3. Use the link below to search for an image to go along with your fact.

4. When you find the image, save the image on your Desktop. When you save the image, include your name.

5. Open your migration fact file. Insert your image in the box provided.

6. Print your fact file.

7. Hand write your fact on your fact file.
