Research Toolkit for Middle and High School - Research Made Easy Growing Bundle

Research is fun and children and teenagers love knowing more about topics that interest them. Researching is an important skill that students must learn. They don't need to wait until college to learn research skills.

This bundle of research-related resources will help your students hone their research skills and make them adept researchers while they are still at school while they learn the research process in depth. It will take your students all the way from selecting a research topic to writing a research paper with everything in between like maintaining a research planner and journal, asking multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary questions, analyzing sources, and presenting their research work in different forms. This bundle is like a rigorous research course at a fraction of the price!

Though there are only a few now, as I create more resources, this bundle will have over 50 products in it. Each one of them can be used by MIDDLE and HIGH SCHOOL students independently to research more effectively.

Unit Study on Scorpions * * * * *

I love this! There are tons of activities to choose from, hands-on, investigative, writing/journaling, drawing, and more. A comprehensive explanation of the research is also included. When your student finishes this Scorpion Unit Study, he/she will know everything they ever wanted to know about scorpions. However, it is not necessary to finish every activity to learn a lot about insects in general, and scorpions in particular. This insect study makes a great addition to Middle School and High School kids' science studies. My son started asking questions right away. For example, he wanted to know if you could have a scorpion as a pet. Hmmm, never thought of that before! Great ideas, and high-quality content. Thank you!
