Studying static electricity and lightning is crucial as it reveals the principles of electrical charges and their effects on both technology and nature. Static electricity impacts everyday technologies like printers and air filters, while lightning provides insights into atmospheric physics and storm dynamics. Understanding these phenomena enhances safety measures, advances meteorological studies, and informs technologies that manage electrical effects, making this field vital for both science and practical applications. With this in mind, let’s dive into this excellent educational 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.

Studying waves and tides is both fascinating and important because it helps us understand the dynamic processes that shape coastal environments and influence marine life. Waves, driven by wind, and tides, caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun, affect coastal erosion, sediment transport, and navigation. Understanding these phenomena is crucial for managing coastal ecosystems, predicting weather patterns, and designing infrastructure to withstand ocean forces. This knowledge also supports sustainable practices in fisheries and tourism, highlights the impact of climate change on sea levels, and enhances our ability to respond to natural hazards. Let’s engage with an excellent teaching resource on that topic!

WHY / WHEN TO USE:
You could ask them to summarize it.
Ask students to define key terms in their own words.
Can they connect the story to the modern world? What connections can they see?
How short can they make the story and retain coherence?
Can they make what if this concept or technology was not discovered? What would we lose?
Link to other activities or as a primer to engage with a related topic.
To increase scientific literacy in your class.
A weekly reading task.

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
