Description
Looking for engaging reports that will get students excited about research and writing? These interactive STEAM projects allow students to research science and social studies topics, and publish their reports in an interactive format. These no-prep projects are perfect for students ready to start researching, writing reports, and creating finished projects. Teachers can easily integrate science, geography, the reading of nonfiction texts, research, and informational writing. Students love the opportunities to cut and color, and the finished projects are ones they can use again and again!
Each project includes a list of recommended books and websites to get you started, as well as complete answer keys. All projects can be completed independently but also lend themselves to group work! Students working in groups can collaborate to create the finished product.
Each "fan" page is scaffolded for learners, so that older students (grades 4 and 5) can work independently. The probing questions and clear research topics also make these fans ideal for beginning research projects with teacher guidance.
Included are projects for:
⭐ Planets Fact Fan Research Project
⭐ Continents Project and Craft - Research Report for the 7 Continents
⭐ 5 Regions of the USA and State Report Research Project: BUNDLE
⭐ State Report Research Project - Templates for all 50 States
⭐ Canada Project - Provinces and Territories Research Report and Craft
⭐ Volcanoes Project and Research Report
⭐ Water Cycle Project - Research Report - Craft
These projects are ideal for:
- practicing note-taking
- introducing research
- for center work
- fast finishers
- independent projects
- group work
- as a supplement to your social studies and science units
Process:
Students use the provided note-taking sheets for research. Then, they transfer the notes onto the fans. The report pages (in the fan format) match the note-taking worksheets exactly, making the publishing process simple. This project gives students the opportunity to research, note-take, label maps, publish, cut and color. When done, students have a resource that can be used again and again!

❤️ "This was an amazing resource and extremely well developed. I used it while my class was remote and it worked perfectly. Some had the printed versions and several used Easel. Both worked fabulously. Thank you!! Highly recommend!" Mrs. Mooney Makes
❤️ "My students loved doing this project, and I loved that it gave them structure, educational rigor, as well as a “fun” activity (coloring, cutting, and assembling the fans). This is a fabulous alternative to the open-ended “research project” recommended by our textbook. I’ll be using this every year, for sure!" Christa D.
❤️ "This was the perfect end of the year wrap up for planets. My students loved putting their knowledge and research skills to the test to tell their peers all about their chosen planet." Rachel Z.
