Physics | 10 Physical Science Reading Passages + 10 Research Project Templates
From the physics of fast, to density & floating and atomic bombs. From nuclear fusion to nuclear fission. Even including fluid dynamics, lasers and even particle accelerators. This bundle is great to teach your physics related science class through some intriguing topics and drives clear structure when getting students to do research. Giving them some really important topics to consider such as plasma and rainbows - past and present - which are challenging to engage with, but crucial in our understanding of our dynamic physics based world and exploring it by observation. Providing them with reading passages and research project templates is very important indeed. With this in mind, let's engage with this excellent learning and teaching resource. These physics research project templates (webquests) provides the perfect grab and go, print and provide resources that can help your students learn all about physics topics. For digital, you can provide a Google doc copy for ease of submission or a Microsoft word version as well. In these physics 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 physics 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.

Lasers | Physics Science Article + Research Project Template
Light up learning with a two part lasers bundle that blends rich reading with hands on inquiry for middle school science and high school physics. Begin with an approximately 15 paragraph passage that explains photons, wavelength, frequency, energy, coherence, and real applications from LIDAR to medicine, followed by 6 questions that include 3 regular questions, one fill in the gaps, one true or false, and one critical thinking prompt. Extend understanding with a research project template where students craft a one paragraph summary, they could complete a mathematics connection using relationships among wavelength, frequency, energy, and power, and students might link ideas to an engineering or technological connection such as cavity design, fiber optics, manufacturing, or data storage. A five term glossary secures precise vocabulary for gain medium, stimulated emission, DVDs, laser cutters, and fiber optic cables, while three challenging inquiry questions drive deeper reasoning. Two extra sets of three questions are included, an easier set for younger students and a more challenging set for older students, so you can switch as needed for seamless differentiation. A creative item space invites ray diagrams, cavity sketches, safety plans, prototypes, or data visuals that show how lasers work and why they matter. Assessment is clear with a 20 point rubric for self, peer, or teacher scoring, and supportive teacher guidance provides step by step implementation tips, pacing ideas, and extensions, making this a practical, low prep purchase that delivers rigorous, engaging learning.
