Dark matter and dark energy are two of the most confusing, but interesting phenomenon in current astronomy. Given that from current models these make most of our universe, this is a topic worth learning about with students. From this teaching resource they can learn some of the little we know about these matter and energy forms.
This dark matter & dark energy 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 dark matter & dark energy. For digital, you can provide a Google doc copy for ease of submission or a Microsoft word version as well.
THIS DARK MATTER & DARK ENERGY SCIENCE RESEARCH PROJECT TEMPLATE CAN BE USED SO MANY WAYS:
- Useful for substitute (sub) teaching
- To extend students

Dark Matter | Focus Unit Bundle | 6 Resources inc. Quiz | Space Science Set
Studying dark matter and dark energy is a powerful way to teach middle and high school science because it shows students how scientists build explanations from evidence, even when the main ingredients of the universe cannot be observed directly. This topic strengthens understanding of gravity, motion, and energy by exploring why galaxies rotate the way they do, how galaxy clusters bend light through gravitational lensing, and why the expansion of the universe is accelerating, connecting directly to forces, models, data analysis, and the limits of current scientific knowledge. This bundled resource set makes these challenging ideas clear and teachable through visually strong theory slides that break down key facts and concepts step by step, a deep dive audio podcast for listen and learn reinforcement, and a visually appealing infographic that anchors the big picture in a student friendly format. Assessment and differentiation are built in with multiple choice and short answer questions that include answers, plus essay prompts with answer pointers that guide deeper reasoning and scientific writing. The dual reading passage set strengthens science literacy for a wide range of learners by offering a higher tier passage with structured comprehension and critical thinking prompts alongside a more accessible lower tier version for younger students or those who need extra support, while the included research project template extends learning into authentic inquiry through a one paragraph summary, a mathematics connection using graphs, proportions, and scale, an engineering or technological connection through telescopes, detectors, and survey missions, a five term glossary, three challenging inquiry questions, and a creative space that encourages students to communicate their understanding in an original and thoughtful way. THIS DARK MATTER INFOGRAPHIC + SLIDES + QUIZ + PODCAST + READING PASSAGE + RESEARCH PROJECT TEMPLATE RESOURCE CAN BE USED SO MANY WAYS: * Useful for substitute (sub) teaching * To extend students * To increase engagement & curiosity * As part of a lesson opener * Great as a lesson filler when class goes too fast * Can be used for homework or for a flipped classroom * Great to engage auditory and visual learning in an effective manner * As the absolute core of a large focused unit * Can be used in a variety of orders to support students WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THIS DARK MATTER INFOGRAPHIC + SLIDES + QUIZ + PODCAST + READING + RESEARCH RESOURCE: * 1 Fantastic and clear infographic in PDF format * 1 Podcast / Audio deep dive on this topic with 2 hosts discussing the key learnings back and forth - 14 minutes in length. * 27 slides with incredible visuals that explore in depth all the key content in this topic in both Google Slides and PDF formats. * 7 pages of questions and answers - useful as a quiz - 15 multiple choice questions - 10 short answer questions - 5 essay style questions - Glossary of key terms along with answers for MC and short answer questions and pointers for essay style questions.

Cosmological | 11 Science Research Project Templates | Astro Set UPDATED
Looking to the cosmos has never been so enjoyable with this batch of 11 brilliant research project templates to structure student thinking and output. From looking for aliens to understanding dark matter and dark energy a little better. Even looking for exoplanets, gamma ray bursts and supermassive black holes! Maybe even measuring distances through space (with parallax). This cosmic bundle has you covered. With this in mind, let's engage with this excellent learning and teaching resource. These space based research project templates (webquests) provides the perfect grab and go, print and provide resources that can help your students learn all about astronomy / astrophysics topics. For digital, you can provide a Google doc copy for ease of submission or a Microsoft word version as well. In these space 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 space 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.
