Taxonomy | Science Research Project Template #20 | Biology | Life Sciences
Taxonomy, the science of classifying life, is crucial for understanding biodiversity, tracking species, and studying ecological relationships. It helps in conservation, medicine, and agriculture by predicting organism characteristics based on their classifications. This field enriches scientific knowledge and supports practical applications, making it a vital and fascinating area of study. So with these important credentials for this topic, let’s get into this teaching resource to help learn about it.
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.

Autoimmune Diseases | Science Research Project + Article #84 | Biology | Life Science
Learning about autoimmune diseases is important because they occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body, leading to chronic conditions like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and type 1 diabetes. Understanding these diseases helps improve diagnosis, develop targeted treatments, and enhance quality of life for those affected. Researching autoimmune diseases also advances our knowledge of the immune system, benefiting broader medical fields and contributing to breakthroughs in therapies and prevention strategies. With this in mind, let’s engage with this awesome learning 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.
