From static electricity, to electrical circuits to electricity generation and transmission. This effective electrical bundle gives an excellent glimpse into the wonderful world of electrical science. This bundle has you covered and helps students develop research skills with a STEM connection and critical thinking prompts through thought provoking questions. It covers this through both reading passages with questions and research project templates. These research project templates provide the perfect grab and go, print and provide resource 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 templates are some of my best work and I am proud to share it with you. These science articles provides the perfect grab and go, print and provide resource 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 4 - 7 page Google doc image - textboxes teacher version with supporting appendix items 4 - 3 page Google doc image - textboxes student version with room to fill in answers (text boxes) 4 - 7 page Word doc image - textboxes teacher version with supporting appendix items 4 - 3 page Word doc image - textboxes student version with room to fill in answers (text boxes) 4 - 7 page PDF teacher version with supporting appendix items 4 - 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 Science Article 4 - 3 page Word doc teacher version with answers 4 - 2 page Word doc student version with room to fill in answers (text boxes) 4 - 3 page Google doc teacher version with answers 4 - 2 page Google doc student version with room to fill in answers (text boxes) 4 - 3 page PDF teacher version with answers 4 - 2 page PDF student version without answers (but space left to do so) 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.
