Momentum Case Study + Article + Research Project Template (Webquest) Bundle

Studying and learning about momentum becomes especially vivid when imagining a student hurtling toward the ground without a parachute. In this extreme (and thankfully fictional) scenario, the student’s velocity increases as they fall, creating a massive amount of momentum due to their speed combined with their mass. By exploring such a dramatic example, middle and high school students can grasp how momentum works in real-life situations, from car crashes to sports collisions. Understanding these principles not only builds a solid foundation in physics and momentum but also highlights the importance of safety and responsible decision-making. With this in mind, let's engage with this excellent learning resource! This what the heck science - momentum case study provides the perfect resource that can help your students learn all about momentum through an excellent opening activity that is effectively structured. Then leading to an truly engaging set of stories of survivors from falling out of the sky unassisted and surviving. This brings real scientific learning in an authentic and unusual way. Then the closing activity is a reflection of the opening activity, but with an entirely new twist to bring a new excellent way of learning. The momentum research project template (webquest) provides the perfect grab and go, print and provide resource that can help your students learn all about momentum. For digital, you can provide a Google doc copy for ease of submission or a Microsoft word version as well. In this momentum research project template (webquest) 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. The momentum research project template includes: * Space for a one paragraph summary (that links to the 2 page science article also available on this topic - but does not have to). * Students should produce a mathematical connection, an engineering / technology connection, 2 interesting facts / stats. * 5 glossary terms they should fill in with their own words (which also links to the science article also available) * 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. * Further, I have added a 1 page - 20 point rubric to be used for either self-assessment or teacher assessment as you deem fit. I hope it helps support the learning even further! The template is some of my best work and I am proud to share it with you. The momentum science article provides the perfect grab and go, print and provide resource that can supplement lessons. It is a momentum 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). A Science Research Project Template PROJECT TEMPLATE CAN BE USED SO MANY WAYS: * 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 * To increase scientific literacy in your class * A weekly reading / research task WHAT'S INCLUDED: Momentum Science Research Project Template * 7 page Google doc image - textboxes teacher version with supporting appendix items * 3 page Google doc image - textboxes student version with room to fill in answers (text boxes) * 7 page Word doc image - textboxes teacher version with supporting appendix items * 3 page Word doc image - textboxes student version with room to fill in answers (text boxes) * 7 page PDF teacher version with supporting appendix items * 3 page PDF student version with space to fill in answers * 1 page 20 point rubric for self or teacher assessment in all three - Google doc, Word doc and PDF form Momentum Science Article * 3 page Word doc image - textboxes teacher version with answers * 2 page Word doc image - textboxes student version with room to fill in answers (text boxes) * 3 page PDF teacher version with answers * 2 page PDF student version without answers (but space left to do so) * 3 page Google doc image - textboxes teacher version with answers * 2 page Google doc image - textboxes student version with room to fill answers (text boxes) Please note: That the Doc versions are images with editable text boxes overlayed on top and this is the most effective way to keep the article sleek and well-designed and also that students cannot change things significantly.
