DOGS Unit Study


Consider using a 3-ring notebook with dividers to make a “Dog Scrapbook” for this unit study.

Label dividers: “Dog Breeds”, “My Dog Art”, “Dog Stories”, “Dogs Around the World”, “The Science of Dogs”, and “How I Helped a Dog”.

Use the unit study ideas below to begin filling in your Scrapbook. But after you’ve finished here, keep your notebook for collecting photos, art, stickers, and any information you learn about dogs.

Happy Learning!

Put the completed anatomy chart in your notebook under “The Science of Dogs”


  1. •Make a dog breeds scrapbook.


Choose several dog breeds under each category of dog (sporting, working, herding, terrier, hound, etc.). Then write the name of each breed on it’s own page (one breed per page). Then collect photos of that breed from books, magazines, websites, and even see if you can find some pictures of that breed in the photos on americanbeachdog.com.! Copy and paste the pictures under the appropriate breed in your scrapbook. Then put your scrapbook in your notebook under “Dog Breeds”.
