Scientist Lynn Margulis - Fact Sheet, Quiz & Interactive Version (PDF & H5P) Lynn Margulis – Endosymbiosis and a New View of Evolution Fact Sheet, Quiz & Interactive Exercises (PDF + H5P) 🧫🔬 This 45-minute resource introduces students in grades 7–10 to Lynn Margulis – a scientist who challenged conventional ideas about evolution and opened up new ways of understanding how complex cells came to be. Many students are familiar with Darwin and natural selection, but fewer know about Margulis and her theory of endosymbiosis. Through her work in the 1960s and 70s, she proposed that parts of our cells – like mitochondria and chloroplasts – actually originated from ancient symbiotic bacteria. Her ideas weren’t widely accepted at first, but over time they became a foundational part of modern biology. To make this topic accessible, I’ve put together a compact, ready-to-use lesson with everything needed for a solid introduction. It includes a short informational text, a fact sheet, quiz questions with answers, and a creative partner task. All materials are available in both color and black-and-white versions, plus there’s an H5P version for digital use. What’s included: A student-friendly text about Lynn Margulis and her contributions to evolutionary biology A fact sheet to help students collect and structure key points Quiz questions with solutions for quick checks or review A pair activity where students create and exchange their own questions Printable PDF and interactive H5P formats for flexible use 💻 Answer key included ✅ I’ve used this resource as part of our evolution unit, especially when discussing how scientific theories develop and why some ideas take time to be accepted. It also fits well into lessons on women in science or interdisciplinary approaches to biology. The format allows for independent work, partner activities, or short projects – whatever suits your group best. 🚀 Download now and bring the legacy of Lynn Margulis into your biology lessons today! 📍 Best wishes, Heike from Lernfitness Did You Know?

Dog Breeds Coloring Domino – Fun and Educational Game
ELA, Language Development, ESL, Special Resources, Science, Basic Science, Life Sciences, Animals, Biology, STEM, Grade 6, Projects, Activities, Classroom Decor, Drawing Templates & Outlines, Worksheets & Printables, Coloring Pages, Worksheets, Word Walls, Games
Dog Breeds Domino – A Calm Coloring & Matching Game for Elementary Students This printable domino game is a quiet and creative way for students to explore different dog breeds while practicing matching skills and early reading. The cards are all black and white, so students can color them themselves – something my third graders always look forward to. It gives them a sense of ownership over the material and creates a nice break from more structured tasks. The idea is simple: each domino shows either a dog breed name or a drawing, and students have to find the correct pairs. The illustrations are clear and recognizable, even without color, so they work well for younger learners or students still developing their vocabulary. The breed names are printed in an easy-to-read font, which helps build confidence in early readers. I’ve used this activity in a few different contexts: – as a quiet task for early finishers – in small group centers – during indoor recess on rainy days – or as part of a broader unit on animals and pets It also opens up room for short, low-pressure conversations – for example, “Which one do you think is the fastest?” or “Would you want a dog like that at home?” If you work with a therapy or school dog, like I do, it’s a great way to bring that connection into the classroom without needing a full lesson plan. The file includes 20 domino cards that you can print and cut out. I recommend using heavier paper or laminating the cards if you plan to reuse them. Depending on the group, you can let students color all the cards first or wait until they’ve completed a match. This is one of those activities that feels more like a calm puzzle than a “game” – which is exactly what some students need in a busy school day. 💛 Warmest wishes, Heike from Lernfitness & Happy Joe 🐶✨ Did You Know? I teach with my certified therapy dog Happy Joe, and together we focus on creating a positive and inspiring learning environment.

Scientist Hans Krebs - Fact Sheet, Quiz & Interactive Version (PDF & H5P) Hans Krebs – Cellular Respiration and the Discovery of the Krebs Cycle Fact Sheet, Quiz & Interactive Exercises (PDF + H5P) 🔁🧬 This 45-minute resource introduces students in grades 10–12 to Hans Krebs – the scientist who uncovered one of the most important metabolic pathways in our cells: the citric acid cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle. When teaching cellular respiration, many students can follow the basics of glucose breakdown and ATP production – but the details of what happens in the mitochondria often feel abstract. Krebs' discovery in the 1930s helped explain how cells extract energy efficiently from food molecules through a cycle of chemical reactions. It’s a key part of understanding aerobic respiration and metabolism. To make this complex process more accessible, I’ve created a structured lesson that includes a short informational text, a fact sheet, quiz questions with answers, and a creative partner task. All materials are available in color and black-and-white, plus there’s a digital H5P version for interactive learning. What’s included: A student-friendly text about Hans Krebs and the citric acid cycle A fact sheet to help visualize and summarize the steps of the cycle Quiz questions (with answer key) for quick review or comprehension checks A creative task where students develop and exchange their own questions in pairs Formats: Printable PDF and interactive H5P 💻 Answer key included ✅ I’ve used this resource during our unit on cellular respiration, often right after glycolysis and before moving on to the electron transport chain. It’s especially helpful for students who benefit from breaking down complex processes into steps. The partner activity works well for revision or as preparation for assessments. 🚀 Download now and bring the legacy of Hans Krebs into your biology lessons today! 📍 Best wishes, Heike from Lernfitness Did You Know?

Scientist James Watson - Fact Sheet, Quiz & Interactive Version (PDF & H5P) James Watson – Discovering the DNA Double Helix Fact Sheet, Quiz & Interactive Exercises (PDF + H5P) This 45-minute resource introduces students in grades 7–10 to James Watson and his role in one of the most important scientific discoveries of the 20th century: the structure of DNA. Most students have heard of DNA, but they often don’t know much about how its double helix structure was uncovered – or who was involved in the process. Together with Francis Crick, and building on key work by Rosalind Franklin, Watson helped lay the groundwork for modern genetics. To make this big topic more manageable in class, I’ve put together a short, ready-to-use lesson. It includes an informational text, a fact sheet, quiz questions with answers, and a few creative tasks that get students thinking and engaging with the content.

Scientist Jacques Monod - Fact Sheet, Quiz & Interactive Version (PDF & H5P) Jacques Monod – Gene Regulation and the Logic of Life Fact Sheet, Quiz & Interactive Exercises (PDF + H5P) 🧬⚙️ This 45-minute resource introduces students in grades 9–11 to Jacques Monod – a French molecular biologist whose work helped uncover how genes are turned on and off. In many biology classes, students learn what DNA is and how proteins are made. But the question of how cells know which genes to activate – and when – often stays abstract. Monod, together with François Jacob, studied this in bacteria and developed the model of the lac operon. It’s a great example of how cells respond to their environment, and it laid the groundwork for much of what we know about gene regulation today. To make this topic more tangible, I’ve created a compact, ready-to-use lesson that breaks it down into manageable parts. It includes an informational text, a fact sheet, quiz questions with answers, and a creative partner task. The material comes in color and black-and-white versions, plus there’s a digital H5P version. What’s included: A clear, student-friendly text about Jacques Monod and the lac operon A fact sheet to help students sort and retain key information Quiz questions with an answer key – good for review or independent work A task where students design and exchange their own questions in pairs Printable PDF and interactive H5P formats for flexible use 💻 Answer key included ✅ I’ve used this resource during our genetics unit, especially when moving from DNA basics to regulation and gene expression. It also fits well in discussions about how scientific models are developed and tested. The partner task works well in small groups or for homework – depending on your setup. 🚀 Download now and bring the legacy of Jacques Monod into your biology lessons today! 📍 Best wishes, Heike from Lernfitness Did You Know?
