Studying static electricity and lightning is crucial as it reveals the principles of electrical charges and their effects on both technology and nature. Static electricity impacts everyday technologies like printers and air filters, while lightning provides insights into atmospheric physics and storm dynamics. Understanding these phenomena enhances safety measures, advances meteorological studies, and informs technologies that manage electrical effects, making this field vital for both science and practical applications. With this in mind, let’s 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.
