The Carbon Cycle is a critical part of Earth’s cyclical processes that move key elements around the planet. It has both storage and release mechanisms that are both natural and impacted by mankind. Understanding how Carbon moves in the oceans, in plants and animals and through the atmosphere is a great part of science learning for modern students. So with that in mind, let’s look at this excellent resource!

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 may or may not link to the 2 page science article also available on this topic). Students should produce a mathematical connection, an engineering / technology connection, 2 interesting facts / stats. Further there are 5 glossary terms they should fill in with their own words and 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.

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:

  • 5 page Word doc teacher version with supporting appendix items
  • 3 page Word doc student version with room to fill in answers (text boxes)
  • 5 page PDF teacher version with supporting appendix items
  • 3 page PDF student version with space to fill in answers

More will be coming to cover other subjects and other topics, so please do keep an eye out for more science articles from The Teaching Astrophysicist!

The Carbon Cycle | Reading + Research + Critical Thinking Framework Bundle

Learning about the carbon cycle is crucial for middle and high school students because it underpins many of the processes that sustain life on Earth. By understanding how carbon moves through the atmosphere, oceans, and living organisms, students can see connections between climate change, ecosystem health, and human activities. This carbon cycle knowledge empowers them to make informed decisions about energy use, conservation, and responsible resource management - skills that will benefit both their personal lives and the broader communities they inhabit. Finally a complete carbon cycle critical thinking framework with various levels provides differentiation, support and a great way to teach critical thinking. This integrated approach not only strengthens their scientific literacy but also fosters critical thinking and problem-solving skills that are essential for advanced studies in biology and earth science. With this in mind, let's engage with this excellent learning and teaching resource. This carbon cycle research project template (webquest) provides the perfect grab and go, print and provide resource that can help your students learn all about the carbon cycle. For digital, you can provide a Google doc copy for ease of submission or a Microsoft word version as well. In this carbon cycle 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 carbon cycle 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.
