This Grade 3 worksheet, Research Practice & Writing, helps students learn how to gather facts and turn them into clear, structured paragraphs. With five themed tasks—plants, penguins, rainwater harvesting, volcano charts, and the solar system—students practise observing information, organising key ideas, and writing meaningful sentences. Each activity builds confidence in early research skills while improving grammar, topic sentences, and factual writing.
1. It teaches children to collect facts and turn them into complete, well-structured sentences.
2. It builds vocabulary across science topics like plants, animals, natural processes, and Earth science.
3. It strengthens sequencing and logical flow, essential for good paragraph writing.
4. It develops early research habits as students learn to use hints, charts, and word lists to build information-rich paragraphs.
Exercise 1 – About Plants
Students write a short paragraph using three simple plant facts (page 3 illustrated with gardening image).
Exercise 2 – Penguin Facts
Learners use three headings—Where They Live, How They Look, What They Eat—to write an organised paragraph (page 4).
Exercise 3 – Rainwater Harvesting
Using the word bank on page 5 (roof, gutters, tank, conserve, reuse), students explain the process of collecting and storing rainwater.
Exercise 4 – Volcano Chart Work
Students read the volcano chart on page 6 and write two facts plus one explanation sentence.
Exercise 5 – Solar System Paragraph
Students read three solar system facts on page 7 and combine them into a complete paragraph.
Rainwater harvesting is a useful method of collecting and saving rainwater. The water first falls on the roof and then travels through gutters and pipes. It is stored in a tank or container so it can be reused later. This helps us conserve water and protect the environment by reducing waste.
