After reading The Story About Ping (set in China), we completed a duck lapbook using the book Ducks, by Gail Gibbons. (These pictures are all from Nicolas's lapbook.)
We looked at how many different kinds of ducks there are (150), what ducklings can accomplish as they get older, what preening is, the most common type of duck (Mallard), what enemies ducks have, what the male, female and baby ducks are called (drake, hen and duckling), the difference between male and female duck calls, migration and homing.
Also, the characteristics of a waterfowl, about the nests and eggs, what ducks are domesticated, and the difference between dabbling and diving ducks.
Finally, definitions like instinct, brood, and clutch, habitats of ducks, and that people in China raised ducks for feathers, meat and eggs.
