The Immune System Science Article + Research Project Template | Health Medicine

Knowing how the immune system detects, attacks, and remembers pathogens links classroom biology to real-world issues like vaccines, allergies, and emerging diseases, giving teens a solid basis for informed health choices. A concise science reading passage with comprehension questions first builds a shared factual foundation and sharpens critical-reading skills. From that springboard, a streamlined research-project template guides deeper inquiry while an accompanying rubric makes expectations for evidence quality, data analysis, and communication explicit. Together, the passage, questions, template, and rubric form a clear path from foundational understanding to investigation, boosting scientific literacy and critical-thinking skills. With this in mind, let's engage with this excellent learning and teaching resource. This immune system research project template (webquest) provides the perfect grab and go, print and provide resource that can help your students learn all about the immune system. For digital, you can provide a Google doc copy for ease of submission or a Microsoft word version as well. In this immune system 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 immune system 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! The template is some of my best work and I am proud to share it with you.
