This is what I've come up with for our unit study on penguins. Its a very simplified plan that will probably take a week if you do two to four activities a day. I opted to go with a smaller version because when I do two to three weeks of study on one thing my kids eventually say " Can we be done with (fill in the blank)". This makes it more stressful for me and them so simpler is better. Of course the more fun they have with it the better they absorb the information.

Using the lapbook from http://www.lapbooklessons.com/LapbookPenguin
and this lapbook http://books.lulu.com/content/1828361
I was able to put together a lapbook at my kids level (4th and 5th grade).
the first lapbook is for early elementary level and the second is at a higher elementary level, in my opinion.
