Linus Pauling – Scientist Profile and Reading Tasks Comprehension Activities A short reading and activity set (PDF + H5P) ⚗️📘 A printable and digital resource for grades 7–10 science and cross-curricular teaching 🧪🧠 This ready-to-use resource introduces students to Linus Carl Pauling – a groundbreaking chemist and one of only two people to receive two unshared Nobel Prizes. His work on chemical bonding, molecular structures, and vitamin research shaped modern chemistry and continues to influence science education today. He’s also remembered for his outspoken views on peace and social responsibility, which makes him an interesting figure across subject areas. The material is designed to help students understand both the scientific and personal contributions of Pauling. It includes a short reading text, a guided profile worksheet, and a short quiz. Two extension tasks allow students to engage more deeply with the text by creating their own questions and discussing them with a partner. What’s included: Informational text on Linus Pauling (student-friendly language) Printable worksheet for creating a profile Quiz questions with solutions Two optional tasks for independent or pair work Formats: – PDF for print and digital use – Editable DOCX (text only, without images) – Interactive H5P version (suitable for most learning platforms) How it can be used: I’ve used materials like this during units on chemical bonding, scientific biographies, or even in interdisciplinary lessons that connect science with ethics or activism. It’s also worked well for cover lessons, as the structure is simple and students can work independently. The H5P version allows students to complete the quiz digitally and get instant feedback, which is helpful in blended learning environments or for homework. The tasks are flexible: they can be used as a full lesson, a review activity, or a meaningful extension when you want to slow down and connect content to real people. Minimal prep. Easy to adapt. A great way to make science a little more human. 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.

Peter Pan - Finger Puppets - Story
ELA, Literature, Grade 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, Activities
Finger Puppets - "Peter Pan - Fairy Tale With this material, you get craft templates for finger puppets for the story "Peter Pan". Perfect for language lessons at primary school. The students deal creatively with the story by coming up with suitable dialogues and acting out the story. The special thing about the finger puppets is that the characters show different emotions by turning the finger puppets or change according to the narrative. The finger puppets are suitable for language lessons in grades 1, grades 2, grades 3, grades 4, grades 5 and grades 6. The finger puppet templates are available in two versions: one in color and one in black and white. You can decide for yourself whether you want to use the time-saving or printer-friendly version. The students can design the black and white templates themselves, for example. With the colored templates, you can quickly create a finger puppet set that you can give to the students to play with. To store it in the binder, the students can make a bag. For the finger puppet show, I have also added suitable backdrops. The students can also design and use their backdrops for their finger puppet show. Teaching Ideas: The finger puppets can be used in various ways in the classroom: Students use the finger puppets during a book presentation to bring the characters to life and practice retelling. Students act out dialogues between the main characters of the fairy tale. The students use the finger puppets in assigned roles while reading. They take turns playing with the different characters. The students continue to tell the story with the finger puppets or come up with dialogues for gaps within the story. The students design the finger puppets in color or cut, fold and make the colored templates into finger puppets. Best regards, Doreen Blumhagen - Die Relitante

Set in the roaring twenties, the movie follows the life of Jay Gatsby, a wealthy young man living in West Egg, Long Island, who throws extravagant parties in the hopes of reuniting with his lost love, Daisy Buchanan, who is married to the wealthy Tom Buchanan. As the story unfolds, Nick Carraway, Gatsby's neighbor and Daisy's cousin, becomes entangled in the drama and learns about Gatsby's past and the lengths he has gone to in order to win back Daisy's love. T he film is a portrayal of the excess and decadence of the era, with lavish parties, flapper dresses, and the ever-present jazz music.
