John Dalton – A Short Introduction to a Key Figure in Chemistry Informational Text, Student Tasks & Digital Quiz (PDF + H5P) 🧪📘 A printable and digital resource for grades 7–10 This material introduces students to John Dalton, best known for his early atomic theory and his work on gases. The text is kept simple and clear, making it easy to integrate into lessons on the history of chemistry or atomic structure. It’s especially useful when you want to combine reading comprehension with scientific content. I’ve used this type of material when I needed something structured but flexible – for example, during quiet lesson phases, independent study, or even in a substitute teaching situation. It’s straightforward enough to use without much prep, and students can usually work through it on their own or in pairs. Here’s what’s included: A short reading passage about John Dalton A worksheet where students fill out a basic profile of him Quiz questions to check understanding (with solutions) Two optional follow-up tasks: – Write your own questions about the text – Swap and answer a partner’s questions Available in three formats: – PDF (print-friendly) – Editable .docx (text only) – H5P version for interactive use without images In the classroom: The material works well for independent work or as part of a science station. Students start with the reading text, complete the profile, and then move on to the quiz questions. The optional tasks are a nice way to extend the activity, especially if some students finish early. The H5P version is useful if you’re working in a digital setting or want to offer students the chance to check their answers right away. It’s a calm, focused lesson component that helps students learn about an important scientific thinker – without needing complicated prep or background knowledge. Have fun exploring the world of science with your students! Warmly, Lernfitness Did You Know? I teach with a certified therapy dog, and together we focus on creating a positive and inspiring learning environment.
