Hermann von Helmholtz - Fact Sheet, Quiz & Interactive Version (PDF & H5P) Hermann von Helmholtz – Sensory Physiology Made Understandable Fact Sheet, Quiz & Interactive Exercises (PDF + H5P) This material introduces students in grades 7–10 to the life and research of Hermann von Helmholtz – one of the key figures behind our scientific understanding of vision, hearing, and nerve conduction. Even if students already know a bit about how our senses work, most are surprised to learn how long ago these topics were explored in depth – and by whom. Helmholtz’s work at the intersection of biology, physics, and medicine still shapes modern neuroscience today. To make this complex content more accessible, I put together a compact set of resources you can easily use in a 45-minute lesson. It includes a short text, a fact sheet, quiz questions (with answers), and a few creative tasks to get students thinking and interacting. You’ll find both color and black-and-white versions – great for printing or digital use. There’s also an H5P version for those who prefer an interactive format. What’s included: A short, student-friendly text on Hermann von Helmholtz and his key discoveries A fact sheet activity to help students organize the main ideas Quiz questions (with solutions) to check understanding An open-ended task where students come up with their own questions and exchange them with a partner Ready-to-print or use digitally (PDF + H5P) Answer key included for quick correction I’ve used this in biology class as part of a unit on the nervous system, but it also fits well in lessons on sensory organs, neuroscience, or even the history of science. The material works for independent work, partner activities, or as a simple introduction to one of the most influential scientists of the 19th century. No extra prep needed – just pick the version that suits your classroom best. 🚀 Download now and bring the legacy of Hermann von Helmholtz into your biology lessons today! 📍 Best wishes, Heike from Lernfitness Did You Know?

Scientist Craig Venter - Fact Sheet, Quiz & Interactive Version (PDF & H5P) Craig Venter – Sequencing the Human Genome and the Future of Synthetic Biology Fact Sheet, Quiz & Interactive Exercises (PDF + H5P) 🧬🧪 This 45-minute resource introduces students in grades 9–12 to Craig Venter – a biologist and geneticist who played a major role in decoding the human genome and pushing the boundaries of synthetic biology. Most students know that DNA holds our genetic information, but they’re often surprised to learn how recently the full human genome was sequenced – and how intense the race to do so actually was. Venter took a different approach from public research teams and became one of the first to publish a full genome sequence. Later, he even worked on building synthetic cells – raising big questions about what defines life. To explore this complex but highly relevant topic, I’ve put together a compact and structured lesson. It includes an informational text, a fact sheet, quiz questions with answers, and a creative task for pairs. All materials are available in color and black-and-white, plus there’s an H5P version for digital classrooms.

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?

Culture Lesson: Cultural Norms and Avoiding Stereotypes Worksheets

Culture Lesson: Cultural Norms and Avoiding Stereotypes Worksheets
Social Studies, Psychology, Life Studies, Grade 5, 6, 7, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets, Activities, Experiments, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools

Do you want your students in grades 5-7 to learn how to become global citizens who can respect a variety of cultural norms and comprehend cross-cultural differences? Are you looking for a fun way to bring all of these ideas to life? Check out this ready-to-go lesson for your class. This 5-Page PDF is ready to print for your social studies classroom. It includes clear teacher instructions for a fun class simulation where half of your students will act out a new "class norm" (five options are provided such as not raising your hand to ask a question) that the other half of your class won't be expecting. While the simulation is happening, everyone will be working on a three page reading comprehension task. Students will read about cultural norms from around the world (slurping noodles when eating in Japan or nodding one's head to say "no" in Bulgaria). They will imagine how not knowing about the cultural norms in a place where they are travelling could lead to accidental misunderstandings. Students are also taught a simple definition of the concept of stereotypes, and they will think of how they are different from cultural norms. Finally, there is a 1-page reflection with prompts- perfect for after a class discussion. Teacher Instructions: 1. Split your class in two and talk to only one half. 2. Tell them that they will have a new “class cultural norm.” Pick one from the provided ideas. 3. When the whole class is reunited, pass out the reading page & worksheets. Students read about cultural norms and answer the questions. 4. As they work, the selected half will enact their new norm, which will confuse the other half of the class. 5. Once the point has been made, let the other half in on the secret. 6. Have a discussion about cultural norms and give students time to write a reflection about this lesson.

Students first read the text and complete a short profile about Democritus, then move on to quiz questions for comprehension. The optional extension tasks promote active engagement and peer interaction, and are ideal if you want to add 10–15 extra minutes to the lesson. This resource works in traditional classroom settings, for independent work, or in digital environments thanks to the H5P version. It’s also useful for differentiating – more advanced students can create and exchange their own questions, while others focus on the basics. No extra prep required – just print or upload, and the lesson is ready to go. Have fun exploring the world of science with your students! Warmly, Lernfitness Did You Know?
