Comets are icy balls of rock, dirt and cosmic ice that float through the cosmos. These dirty snowballs of space orbit the Sun and go far out in our Solar system. Learning about them makes for a cool two-tailed adventure, so with that in mind, let’s use this resource to learn about this topic!
The 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.
The template is some of my best work and I am proud to share it with you.
The science article provides the perfect grab and go, print and provide resource that can supplement lessons. It is an article with questions to check comprehension and inspire scientific thinking.

Studying catalysts is crucial as they enhance the efficiency of chemical reactions used in various industries, from pharmaceuticals to environmental technologies like fuel cells and catalytic converters. Understanding catalysts allows scientists to design more sustainable chemical processes, reducing energy and waste. This field is key to advancing green chemistry and developing solutions to global energy and environmental challenges. With this in mind, let’s engage with a terrific teaching resource!
The 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.
The template is some of my best work and I am proud to share it with you.
The science article provides the perfect grab and go, print and provide resource that can supplement lessons. It is an article with questions to check comprehension and inspire scientific thinking. I am very proud of this series of science articles and they are rich with information and wonder at the majesty of science. Each science article includes a fun fact(s) to add to the knowledge gained from this article. Formatted in an easy to read and digest manner, each paragraph is numbered to help with referencing and each question answer has a paragraph reference number to point to the specific information (where applicable).

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!
