This 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). 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: Research Project Templates 10 - 5 page Word doc teacher version with supporting appendix items 10 - 3 page Word doc student version with room to fill in answers (text boxes) 10 - 5 page PDF teacher version with supporting appendix items 10 - 3 page PDF student version with space to fill in answers Science Article 10 - 3 page Word doc teacher version with answers 10 - 2 page Word doc student version with room to fill in answers (text boxes) 10 - 3 page PDF teacher version with answers 10 - 2 page PDF student version without answers (but space left to do so) 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!

Crystals | Science Research Project + Article #49 | Earth Science | Geology

2 Resources
Studying crystals is crucial as it reveals their unique structures and properties, impacting technology and materials science. Understanding crystals helps in developing advanced materials, improving technologies like semiconductors, and enhancing industries such as jewelry. This knowledge also benefits fields like geology and materials science, driving innovations and practical applications in everyday life. Let’s engage with an excellent teaching resource on that 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.
