Trading Cards for Mini-Research Projects

I have some old Kids National Geographic Magazines in my classroom and my students covet the animal trading cards inside some of the issues.  I decided to use their interest to create a mini-research form.

To download this free sheet of trading cards from my Google Drive, click here.
These can be adapted for any animal, real or imaginary.  You can require a certain number glued to an index card with illustrations.  I like having open ended projects like this for students who finish other work.
