Imagine handing your class a vibrant, ready-to-go mouth-and-teeth science bundle that does the heavy lifting for you: it starts with an engaging reading-comprehension passage (paired with informative questions) that hits literacy standards while sneaking in core biology, then pivots to a plug-and-play research-project template that turns every student into a mini-scientist investigating topics from fluoride chemistry to the microbiome; layer in a critical-thinking framework that walks them through claim-evidence-reasoning so they can separate solid science from dental folklore; and finish with two crowd-pleasing activities - one set of 10 strange-but-true facts that make jaws drop (did you know enamel can survive a house fire?) and a fast-paced Two Truths and a Lie game that doubles as an instant formative check. So… The result? Higher engagement, seamless cross-curricular coverage (ELA, STEM, and health), authentic research practice, and students who leave your room not just knowing what a cavity is but why everyday habits matter - sparking lifelong oral-health awareness while you effortlessly meet standards and look like a curriculum rock star. With this in mind, let’s engage with this excellent learning and teaching resource. This is a focus unit, the idea is to tackle this topic - mouth and teeth science - in a short. sharp and effective focus which I am calling a focus unit.

For digital, you can provide a Google doc copy for ease of submission or a Microsoft word version as well. In this mouth & teeth 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. This mouth & teeth 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!

These research project templates provides the perfect grab and go, print and provide resources that can supplement lessons. They are project templates with questions to check comprehension and inspire scientific thinking. They give 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! These science articles provides the perfect grab and go, print and provide resources that can supplement lessons. They are articles 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 - 7 page Google doc image - textboxes teacher version with supporting appendix items 10 - 3 page Google doc image - textboxes student version with room to fill in answers (text boxes) 10 - 7 page Word doc image - textboxes teacher version with supporting appendix items 10 - 3 page Word doc image - textboxes 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 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.
