Dawkins' perspective invites them to look one level deeper: not just at organisms competing for survival, but at genes as the driving force behind evolution . His work sparked a lot of discussion – not only in science, but also in philosophy and ethics. To help students engage with these more abstract ideas, I’ve put together a structured and accessible lesson. It includes a short informational text, a fact sheet, quiz questions with answers, and a creative partner task. The materials are available in color and black-and-white versions, plus there’s a digital H5P version for interactive use. What’s included: A student-friendly overview of Richard Dawkins and the core ideas of The Selfish Gene A fact sheet to help students organize key concepts Quiz questions with solutions for quick comprehension checks A partner task where students create and exchange questions Available as printable PDF and interactive H5P version 💻 Answer key included ✅ I’ve used this resource in upper-level biology and ethics courses – especially when discussing how scientific ideas evolve and how they influence thinking beyond the lab. The material also opens up interesting conversations about the role of science communication. Works well for individual tasks, pair work, or short discussion-based projects. 🚀 Download now and bring the legacy of Richard Dawkins into your biology lessons today! 📍 Best wishes, Heike from Lernfitness Did You Know?

Emil Erlenmeyer – The Scientist Behind the Famous Flask Comprehension Activities A short informational text and classroom task set for grades 7–10 🧪📘 (PDF + H5P) ⚗️📘 A printable and digital resource for grades 7–10 science and cross-curricular teaching 🧪🧠 This resource introduces students to Emil Erlenmeyer, a chemist best known for designing the Erlenmeyer flask – a piece of lab equipment still used every day in schools and laboratories around the world. Beyond the flask, he also made important contributions to the understanding of chemical structures and reactions. The text is written in clear, student-friendly language and offers a good opportunity to connect science content with the people behind the discoveries. I’ve used this kind of material in lessons where students are learning about lab equipment, scientific processes, or simply getting to know the history of chemistry. What’s included: A short informational text about Emil Erlenmeyer A printable student profile to summarize key facts Quiz questions based on the text (with answer key) Two extension tasks for extra practice or early finishers: – Students create their own questions – Exchange and answer partner questions Available formats: – PDF (print and digital use) – DOCX (editable text version) – H5P version for digital platforms (without images) How to use it in class: Students begin by reading the text – individually, in pairs, or as a group. They then complete the profile and quiz questions. The optional tasks work well in partner work or as a small extension activity. The structure is easy to follow and also works in substitute lessons, even when the substitute isn’t a science teacher. The H5P version can be used in digital classrooms or assigned as a self-paced homework activity with built-in feedback. No prep is needed – just print or upload and start. A simple way to connect everyday classroom science with the people who shaped it. Have fun exploring the world of science with your students! Warmly, Lernfitness Did You Know?
