Studying tectonic plates is crucial as it explains the forces shaping Earth’s surface, including earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain formation. Understanding plate movements helps predict natural disasters, manage resources, and grasp Earth’s history, aiding in geological hazard assessment and guiding construction practices. With this in mind, let’s engage with this teaching resource. 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.
