Waves & Tides | Science Research Project Template #44 | Earth Science | Geology

(0)
Studying Earth’s history through fossils, continental drift, and ancient life is crucial as it reveals the evolution of life and changes in Earth’s surface over time. Fossils offer insights into past ecosystems and species development, while continental drift explains landmass shifts and their effects on climate and biodiversity. This understanding helps reconstruct past environments, track evolution, and address current and future environmental challenges. Let’s engage with an excellent teaching resource on that topic! 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 may or may not link to the 2 page science article also available on this topic). Students should produce a mathematical connection, an engineering / technology connection, 2 interesting facts / stats. Further there are 5 glossary terms they should fill in with their own words and 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. 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: 5 page Word doc teacher version with supporting appendix items 3 page Word doc student version with room to fill in answers (text boxes) 5 page PDF teacher version with supporting appendix items 3 page PDF student version with space to fill in answers More will be coming to cover other subjects and other topics, so please do keep an eye out for more science articles from The Teaching Astrophysicist!
