Learning about neutron stars is important because they offer profound insights into fundamental physics and astrophysics by allowing scientists to study matter under extreme conditions, test theories of gravity, understand stellar life cycles, and explore the production of heavy elements through processes like neutron star mergers - which are sources of gravitational waves and electromagnetic radiation - thus advancing our knowledge of the universe, contributing to technological innovations inspired by extreme physics, and potentially leading to breakthroughs in physics and astronomy. Let’s learn about it together.
This neutron stars 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 neutron stars. For digital, you can provide a Google doc copy for ease of submission or a Microsoft word version as well.
THIS NEUTRON STARS SCIENCE RESEARCH PROJECT TEMPLATE CAN BE USED SO MANY WAYS:
- Useful for substitute (sub) teaching
- To extend students
- To increase scientific literacy in your class
- A weekly reading task
- Great as a lesson filler when class goes too fast
- To inspire students on a particular topic
- Give a selection of these articles for students to choose from
WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THIS NEUTRON STARS 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
Please note: That the Google Doc / Microsoft 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.

Complete Astro Science Research Project 20 Templates Bundle Webquests
From black holes to massive stars, from the space race to Jupiter's great red spot. From dwarf planets to the cosmic microwave background, from hunting aliens with mathematics to binary stars. This bundle has you covered and helps students develop research skills with a STEM connection and critical thinking prompts through thought provoking questions. 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 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! 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: Research Project Templates * 10 - 7 page Word doc teacher version with supporting appendix items and alternative question pages (includes text boxes) * 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 and alternative question pages * 10 - 3 page PDF student version with space to fill in answers * 1 page - 20 point rubric for self or teacher assessment in both Google doc and PDF form If you have any questions, please feel to DM me on instagram @theteachingastrophysicist Let’s Connect! - All under the handle - The Teaching Astrophysicist Be sure to follow my: ★ Blog ★ Instagram ★ Linkedin ★ Pinterest
