From extreme organism adaptations to cellular respiration, from bioluminescence to deep sea creatures and autoimmune diseases. This bundle has you covered and helps students develop research skills with a STEM connection and critical thinking prompts through thought provoking questions.

This research project template provides the perfect grab and go, print and provide resource that can supplement lessons. It is an project template with questions to check comprehension and inspire scientific thinking. It gives a rich and supportive framework that can be tweaked as needed for students to support differentiation.

Each research project template includes:

  • Space for a one paragraph summary (that links to the 2 page science article also available on this topic - but does not have to).
  • Students should produce a mathematical connection, an engineering / technology connection, 2 interesting facts / stats.
  • 5 glossary terms they should fill in with their own words (which also links to the science article also available)
  • 3 thought provoking questions (ie: critical thinking questions) they must answer.
  • Finally, each template has 3 alternative thought provoking questions for younger students and 3 other alternative harder questions to extend high flying or older students. Giving you a total of 9 possible thought provoking questions that could be used with students to enhance their research and critical thinking.
  • Further, I have added a 1 page - 20 point rubric to be used for either self-assessment or teacher assessment as you deem fit. I hope it helps support the learning even further!

This template is some of my best work and I am proud to share it with you.

WHY / WHEN TO USE:

  • Useful for substitute (sub) teaching
  • To extend students
  • To increase scientific literacy and research skills in your class
  • Great as a lesson filler when class goes too fast and you need a long running task
  • To inspire students on a particular topic
  • As a scaffold to support students who need support on research skills and can use a framework
  • To enhance critical thinking when doing research and making a relevant and interesting output
  • Give a selection of these research project templates for students to choose from
  • To enhance students ability to express ideas and synthesis knowledge

WHAT’S INCLUDED:

  • 10 - 7 page Word doc teacher version with supporting appendix items and alternative question pages (includes text boxes)
  • 10 - 3 page Word doc student versions with room to fill in answers (text boxes)
  • 10 - 7 page PDF teacher version with supporting appendix items and alternative question pages
  • 10 - 3 page PDF student versions with space to fill in answers
  • 1 page - 20 point rubric for self or teacher assessment in both Word doc and PDF form
