Planetary Rings | Science Research Project Template #4 | Astronomy / Astrophysics

(0)
Planetary rings can be made of ice, rock, dirt and dust. They are incredibly thin (usually) even more than you might expect. They show up in our Solar System only on the gas giant, but could arise in many different ways and places on various planets in our galaxy, they are fascinating as they only last for millions of years at a time, such a temporary phenomenon. Still, they are awesome and worth learning about, so here’s a learning resource to help with this 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 3 page Word doc student version with room to fill in answers (text boxes) 5 page PDF teacher version with supporting appendix items 3 page PDF student version with space to fill in answers 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!

The Electromagnetic Spectrum | Science Research Project Template #34 | Physics | Physical Science

(0)
Studying the electromagnetic spectrum is fascinating and crucial as it reveals diverse energy forms—from radio waves to gamma rays—that power telecommunications, medical imaging, and space exploration. This spectrum underpins technologies like smartphones and satellite communications, while aiding astronomers in studying the universe’s origins. Its understanding is fundamental in physics and engineering, shaping innovations that improve daily life and address global challenges in climate science and environmental monitoring. 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.

IB DP Physics 2023 syllabus - Foundational skills - Complete bundle

3 Resources
This IB DP Physics sub-topic material covers all key knowledge needed for the entire unit. These materials are aligned to the 2023 syllabus onwards. They are developed by an IB DP Physics teacher who also knew the previous 2016 syllabus as well. While perhaps not the flashiest format, they are consistent and use Microsoft software and PDFs which is readily accessible to almost anyone. They contain Teacher made graphics which show the exact concept to be taught or question to be asked and are all original to The Teaching Astrophysicist. WHY / WHEN TO USE: Helps with revision on a topic The base for covering relevant teacher materials Great for initial learning and practice Memorization of key concept and knowledge WHAT’S INCLUDED: 3 sets of physics flashcards - word doc and PDF 3 sets of physics flashcards - Powerpoint 6 detailed long response questions - DP style - word doc and PDF - both with and without answers (ie: Teacher version and student version) 60 Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) - word doc and PDF - both with and without answers (ie: Teacher version and student version) 3 set of detailed notes - word doc and PDF If you have any questions, please feel to DM me on instagram @theteachingastrophysicist Let’s Connect!
