Upgrade your biology curriculum with the Spider Research Project Template, a standards‑aligned lesson plan that guides middle school science and high school biology students through arachnid anatomy, silk engineering, and ecosystem impact using engaging STEM tasks. Learners create a concise one‑paragraph summary, they could crunch prey‑capture or web‑strength data in the mathematics connection, and they might link biomimetic silk technology to modern materials science in the engineering or technological section, while a focused five‑term glossary secures critical vocabulary for quizzes. Differentiation is effortless: alongside three core inquiry questions you receive two extra sets of three, one simplified for younger students and one more challenging for advanced classes, letting you swap questions in seconds. A flexible creative item space invites posters, podcasts, or 3‑D models that showcase deeper understanding, and a transparent 20‑point rubric supports self, peer, or teacher assessment for quick, fair grading. Detailed implementation guidance with pacing tips, sample answers, and extension ideas helps educators launch the project confidently, ensuring measurable gains in STEM literacy and student engagement every time it is assigned.

This spiders 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 spiders.

Animals | 13 Science Research Project Templates | Life Science Set UPDATED

Animals and organisms in general have incredible talents, variety and a great deal of scientific learning that they can help us understand. Animals and organisms come from deep sea creatures to fungi to invertebrates and protozoa even to unusual pollinators and spiders! Organisms are just excellent to learn about. From their adaptations to their ability to be bioluminescent... animals provide us with a source of inspiration and a great deal of learning as does this set of research project templates. These animals based 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 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 animals 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.

Spiders | Biology / Life Science Article + Research Project Template

Elevate your life‑science curriculum with the Spiders Reading and Research Bundle, a classroom‑ready duo that blends literacy, data analysis, and hands‑on inquiry for middle school science and high school biology. The fifteen‑paragraph reading passage explores arachnid anatomy, silk strength, and ecological roles, then checks comprehension with six varied prompts: three direct questions, an engaging fill‑in‑the‑gaps task, a true‑or‑false check, and a critical‑thinking challenge that sparks lively discussion. After students build foundational knowledge, the companion research project template guides them to craft a concise one‑paragraph summary, they could analyze prey‑capture or maybe consider web‑tension data in the mathematics connection, and connect biomimetic silk to modern materials science in the engineering or technological section, while a focused five‑term glossary locks in essential vocabulary. Differentiation is effortless thanks to three core inquiry questions plus two swap‑in sets of three tailored to younger or advanced learners, and a flexible 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 consistent grading, and the detailed teacher guide offers pacing tips, sample responses, and extension ideas.
