All About Alligators and Crocodiles- Animal Science

Real photos, non-fiction articles, crafts, worksheets, and writing templates to round out your unit about alligators and crocodiles. This package is geared towards pre-K through 2nd grade and has a variety of levels of reading and writing resources. It's seriously packed with amazing stuff!

*I decided to create the alligator and crocodile unit together since they are so similar. I have tried to spend lots of time differentiating between them in this resource. Because this unit covers two animals it's quite a bit larger that my regular animal units.
