Life Sciences, Science, STEM, Social Studies, Biographies, Inventors, Basic Science, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Grade 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, Worksheets, Worksheets & Printables, Quizzes, Quizzes and Tests, Teacher Tools, Projects, Activities

Justus von Liebig – Chemistry Pioneer and Science Reformer A ready-to-use reading and activity 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 Justus von Liebig, one of the most influential chemists of the 19th century. Known for his work on agricultural chemistry, food science, and lab-based teaching, Liebig helped shape the way chemistry is studied and taught even today. His contributions go beyond formulas – they reach into education, nutrition, and everyday life. The resource includes a concise, accessible text paired with simple, structured tasks. It can be used in a chemistry unit, during a lesson on the history of science, or as part of a substitute plan where no specialized background is required. Included in this resource: Informational text on Justus von Liebig’s life and achievements Student worksheet for creating a scientist profile Quiz questions with a complete answer key Two extension tasks: – Students write their own questions based on the reading – Peer activity to exchange and answer each other’s questions File formats: – PDF for print or digital use – Editable DOCX (text only) – H5P version for use in digital classrooms (no images) How it’s used in the classroom: This kind of material works well as a quiet reading activity, a springboard for science-history discussions, or a way to highlight lesser-known scientists who had a big impact. I’ve used it during lessons on food chemistry and nutrient cycles to provide real-world context. The H5P version supports independent and self-paced work, especially in hybrid or online classrooms. With minimal prep and clear instructions, the material can be used flexibly across settings. A thoughtful and low-prep resource to bring historical depth and personal stories into science class. 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.

Dog Breeds Coloring Domino – Fun and Educational Game

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.

6th Grade Math Spiral Review Escape Room Week 3

6th Grade Math Spiral Review Escape Room Week 3
Math, Grade 5, 6, 7, Worksheets, Worksheets & Printables, Teacher Tools, Activities, Escape Room

Bring structure, engagement, and consistency to your daily math routine with this 6th grade, full-week math review set in a an underwater research lab. Designed to be quick, consistent, and effective, it includes five mini escape room missions (one for each day of the week) that take just 8 to 10 minutes to complete. It's the type of activity that feels fun for students, but is hard at work in the background. Each day, students take on the role of a researcher in the Underwater Lab. They'll solve a short set of math problems, use digits from their answers to unlock a code, and complete their mission for the day. The structure is the same each day, so once students understand the routine, there's no-prep, no logins, and built-in self-checking! Skills Covered - Week 3 The same five skill areas spiral in all five days, with new problems each day: Decimal Place Value Comparing Decimals Fractions vs. Decimals Multiplying Whole Numbers Decimal Word Problems This spiraled structure is intentional. It allows students to build confidence and fluency with repeated exposure, but not just memorize answers since the problems are all different. It's perfect for those skills students always seem to need more practice with, without feeling overwhelming or taking up too much class time. How the Mini Escape Rooms Work Each daily mission follows the same process: Students solve five math problems Each problem focuses on one of the five target skills. Students take the first digit of each answer The five digits form a numeric code. Entering the correct code completes the mission! Because the format never changes, students quickly become independent. Once the routine is established, you won't need to re-explain directions day after day. What's Included This resource provides everything you need for a full week of review: Five digital mini escape room missions (Day 1-Day 5) Printable worksheets with the same problems for each day Answer keys and numeric codes for all missions A consistent layout to support student independence Clear teacher instructions Student-friendly directions Classroom Use Each mission is designed to fit easily into your schedule, and works perfectly as: A bell ringer or warm up A quick end-of-class review An early finisher activity A reliable emergency sub plan Missions can be completed in order across the week or used independently, depending on your classroom needs. Technology and Accessibility This resource is intentionally flexible: No student accounts required Works with whole-class projection, individual devices, or distance learning Fully usable in paper-based classrooms with the printable version Teacher Notes The short, consistent format makes it easy to establish a routine and avoid wasting class time on transitions and repeated directions. Once the code rule is learned, these mini escape rooms practically run themselves!
