Revitalize your forest‑ecology unit with the Tree Network Research Project Template, a classroom‑ready lesson plan that guides middle school science and high school biology students through the hidden mycorrhizal connections that let trees share nutrients and information. Learners craft a concise one‑paragraph summary, they could analyze real canopy‑to‑root data in the mathematics connection, and students might link underground communication to cutting‑edge bio‑inspired sensor grids in the engineering or technological section, while a focused five‑term glossary secures core vocabulary for quizzes and exams. Differentiated inquiry comes built in: alongside three core questions you receive two extra sets of three, one tailored for younger grades and one more challenging for advanced students, allowing quick swaps to match any learning level. A dedicated creative item space sparks posters, podcasts, or 3‑D models that show deeper understanding, and assessment stays efficient with a transparent 20‑point rubric that supports self, peer, or teacher grading. Detailed implementation guidance provides pacing tips, sample responses, and extension ideas so you can launch the project with confidence, making this tree network template an essential purchase for boosting engagement, meeting standards, and driving measurable gains in STEM literacy.
This tree network science research project template (webquest) provides the perfect grab and go, print and provide resource that can help your students learn all about the topic of the tree network. For digital, you can provide a Google doc copy for ease of submission or a Microsoft word version as well. In this tree network science research project template (webquest) with questions to check comprehension and inspire scientific thinking.

Biology | 10 Life Science Reading Passages + 10 Research Project Templates
From unusual pollinators to flowers and water bears. From selective breeding to seeds. Even including yeast, insects and the tree network. This bundle is great to teach your biology related life science class through some intriguing topics and drives clear structure when getting students to do research. Giving them some really important topics to consider such as spiders and the zombie-ant fungus which are challenging to engage with, but crucial in our understanding of our living world and exploring it by observation. Providing them with reading passages and research project templates is very important indeed. With this in mind, let's engage with this excellent learning and teaching resource. These biology / life science research project templates (webquests) provides the perfect grab and go, print and provide resources that can help your students learn all about biology / life science topics. For digital, you can provide a Google doc copy for ease of submission or a Microsoft word version as well. In these biology / life science related research project templates (webquests) with questions to check comprehension and inspire scientific thinking. They gives a rich and supportive framework that can be tweaked as needed for students to support differentiation. These biology / life science research project templates include: * 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. These biology / life science article provides the perfect grab and go, print and provide resource that can supplement lessons. It is a biology / life science article set with questions to check comprehension and inspire scientific thinking. I am very proud of this series of biology / life science articles and they are rich with information and wonder at the majesty of science. Each biology / life 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 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: Biology / Life Science Research Project Templates * 10 - 7 page Google doc teacher version with supporting appendix items * 10 - 3 page Google doc student version with room to fill in answers (text boxes) * 10 - 7 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 - 7 page PDF teacher version with supporting appendix items * 10 - 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 Biology / Life Science Articles * 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) * 10 - 3 page Google doc teacher version with answers * 10 - 2 page Google doc 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.

The Tree Network | Biology / Life Science Article + Research Project Template
Spark curiosity about the hidden 'wood wide web' with the Tree Network Reading and Research Bundle, a ready‑to‑use pair that merges literacy and inquiry for middle school science and high school biology classes. The fifteen‑paragraph reading passage unpacks how fungi, roots, and microbes form data‑rich networks that let trees share nutrients and signals, then checks comprehension with six varied prompts: three direct‑answer questions, an interactive fill‑in‑the‑gaps task, true‑or‑false statements, and a thought‑provoking critical‑thinking challenge. Once students grasp the basics, the companion research project template guides them to craft a concise one‑paragraph summary, students could analyze real canopy‑to‑root data in the mathematics connection, and maybe connect underground communication to bio‑inspired sensor grids in the engineering or technological section, while a focused five‑term glossary secures key vocabulary for assessments. Differentiation is effortless thanks to three core inquiry questions plus two extra sets of three that can be swapped to suit younger or advanced learners, and a creative item space invites posters, podcasts, or 3‑D models that showcase deeper understanding. A transparent 20‑point rubric supports self, peer, or teacher assessment for quick, fair grading, and detailed teacher guidance supplies pacing tips, sample responses, and extension ideas.
