Learning about the science of momentum is essential for students to understand how objects move and interact in the physical world. Momentum is a fundamental concept in physics, explaining everything from collisions and motion to energy transfer and conservation laws. By studying momentum, students gain critical insights into everyday phenomena, like car crashes, sports dynamics, and engineering design. Momentum is key to understanding forces and movement, making it an engaging and practical topic that builds problem-solving and analytical skills. Teaching momentum equips students with knowledge they can apply in science, technology, and beyond. With this in mind, let’s engage with this excellent learning and teaching resource. This complete set covers critical thinking through the framework, research through the research project template and literacy through the science article (science reading comprehension worksheet) plus with the ‘What the Heck’ momentum case study and stories it opens, closes and engages in the middle of the topic truly building student curiosity. These four resources work collectively and to teach your students on a wide variety of skills on the topic of choice, in this case momentum. A critical thinking framework focused on momentum brings this complex phenomena into clear, student-friendly steps. By guiding learners to identify questions, evaluate evidence, and compare multiple explanations, it transforms the study of the phenomenon of momentum into an engaging, inquiry-based experience. Students gain a deeper appreciation for science as they piece together how any object moving or coming to rest has momentum based interactions. Rather than just memorizing facts, they actively practice scientific habits of mind—analyzing data, identifying gaps in knowledge, and reflecting on the learning process. A dedicated framework also saves time and supports more robust learning outcomes. It provides a structured path for teachers to implement discussions, projects, or small-group investigations without having to create all the resources from scratch. Embedded prompts and example strategies help students build confidence in their ability to think like scientists, meaning you can focus on facilitating exploration rather than constantly reinventing lesson plans. Ultimately, investing in this streamlined approach helps elevate student engagement, fosters critical thinking skills, and brings the world of momentum in real life to students in the classroom. THE MOMENTUM CRITICAL THINKING FRAMEWORK CAN BE USED SO MANY WAYS: Guided Inquiry Projects: Assign each step as a stage in a research project, from forming a question to reflecting on findings. Group Discussions: Facilitate structured group dialogues where each student is the primary driver to one step of the framework. Problem-Solving Stations: Set up stations, each focusing on a different step (e.g., analyzing reasoning, identifying limitations), and rotate groups through them. Reflection Journals: Encourage students to write short entries on each step after exploring new content or completing a project. Peer Teaching: Have students create mini-lessons using the steps, culminating in an elevator pitch or summary to teach classmates. Assessment Tool: Use the framework’s steps as a rubric to evaluate the depth and clarity of students’ scientific reasoning and presentations. 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. 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. This 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!

Learning about historical scientists and inventors helps middle and high school students see how discoveries unfold over time, cultivating an appreciation for the curiosity and resilience that drive scientific progress. By reading stories at multiple Lexile levels - such as those about Nikola Tesla, Gregor Mendel, Charles Darwin, Marie Curie and more - teachers can ensure that students of varying reading abilities remain engaged and can grasp complex ideas. These narratives bring science to life by connecting abstract concepts with real people’s struggles and triumphs, illustrating that great achievements often emerge from persistence and creative thinking. Ultimately, this layered approach to storytelling supports diverse learners, sparks deeper interest, and fosters a sense of wonder about the continual evolution of human knowledge. Each story covers the basics in a good amount of relevant details and the story is available in 3 Lexile levels (850L, 1050L & 1200L) great for a variety of young readers and it engages them to learn about science through a story rather than yet another YouTube video, but something a bit different and enjoyable for students! Learning through a concise, engaging story about a scientists and / or inventor appeals to middle school science & high school students by weaving scientific facts into a narrative that sparks curiosity. This storytelling approach helps them visualize abstract concepts in a more memorable and accessible way, encouraging deeper understanding. Moreover, relatable examples from these individuals inventions or discoveries can inspire learners to explore, question, and think critically about how they invented or discovered a great deal and learned and shared plenty that no other person had discovered or thought of before. This science story provides the perfect grab and go, print and provide resource that can supplement lessons. It can be used in a variety of ways as mentioned below! Each story includes at least 3 - 4 images to bring a bit more entertainment and engagement. WHY / WHEN TO USE: You could ask them to summarize it. Ask students to define key terms in their own words. Can they connect the story to the modern world? What connections can they see? How short can they make the story and retain coherence? Can they make what if this concept or technology was not discovered? What would we lose? Link to other activities or as a primer to engage with a related topic. To increase scientific literacy in your class. A weekly reading task. Useful for substitute (sub) teaching.

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).
