Atomic Shell Model Domino – Learning Electron Configurations Through Play 118 cards for learning the periodic table A classroom game to practice atomic structure and element knowledge 🧪🎲 This printable domino game helps students explore the shell model of the atom while getting to know the periodic table in a more hands-on and interactive way. Each card connects an element name to a visual of its electron shell configuration, offering a playful way to reinforce key chemistry concepts. The set includes 119 domino-style cards – covering all 118 known elements. On each card, the element name is on the left and the corresponding shell diagram with its symbol is on the right. Students link them by matching the shell model of one element to the name of the next. It’s a surprisingly effective way to help them recognize patterns in atomic structure, get familiar with chemical symbols, and connect abstract content to something more tangible. What’s included: 119 printable domino cards (PDF) Each card shows: element name → electron shell model with element symbol Print-ready format; laminating optional but recommended Classroom ideas: Use as a full-class activity or in small groups Introduce the game before formal work with the periodic table to build foundational understanding Great for movement-based tasks: spread the cards across tables or even down a hallway Set time challenges: Who can build the longest correct domino chain? For easier levels, use a reduced set (e.g., first 20 elements or just the main groups) In my chemistry classes, students enjoy the game format – especially those who don’t usually connect with abstract models. Working together to build the correct sequence gives them a chance to talk through the structure of atoms and test their understanding in a low-pressure setting. The domino format encourages active learning, peer interaction, and multiple ways to differentiate by level. Whether you use the full set or simplify it for younger learners, it’s a great way to bring more movement and discussion into your science lessons. Just print, cut, and you’re ready to play. 📍 Best wishes, Heike from @Lernfitness Did You Know?

Biology Binder Covers – Templates for Classroom Use Organize your biology handouts, notes, and units with visual clarity Simple and flexible templates to help organize your biology materials In my biology classes, it can be a challenge to keep things organized - especially when it comes to multiple units, lab notes, worksheets and review materials. To make it easier for my students and myself, I designed these simple binder sleeves. There are 12 different pages. The covers have a clean, colorful blob layout that is friendly but not distracting. I usually print them out and use them as cover sheets or as dividers in folders for students or teachers. They also work well for digital learning environments, e.g. as section covers in PDF files or on classroom platforms. I like that the color scheme allows students to quickly find what they are looking for, and it brings a little more structure to a subject that is often riddled with formulas and technical terms. When used as cover sheets, students can choose their favorite color for their cover sheet. This resource is handy - and has saved me a lot of time in lesson preparation and follow-up. What’s included: 12 biology-themed cover pages different colors zu choose as a cover sheet as a divider between the individual biology topics I've printed these on colored paper for my own binder and also used them digitally in student notebooks. Works well for both teacher organization and student-facing materials. 📍 Best wishes, Heike from Lernfitness Biology teacher (Chemistry teacher, Math teacher) in Germany Did You Know?

Each station comes with a description card while some also contain more detailed instructions, a reading, questions to answer, etc. Students are equipped with a recording sheet (passport) to write their answers. There is almost no prep for you. Simply print the cards, lay them out around the room and you're all set. An answer key is also provided where applicable. This lab activity covers: - Structure, Parts and Functions of the Nervous System - Structure, Types and Functions of the Neuron - Reflex Arc - Nerve Signal Transmission and Action Potential - The Schwann Cell and Action Potential - Sodium-Potassium Pump - Neurotransmitters and its Functions ---------------------------------------------- Bonus Activities: To ensure your students don’t have any downtime between stations, your lab also includes a 10-word word scramble and word search, both with an answer key. You can use them as part of their mark, as a bonus so it’s not mandatory, etc. However you choose to use it, it will ensure that your students are always busy and never idle. Note: For stronger classes, I give the word scramble and for weaker ones, the word search. ----------------------------------------------- How do the Lab Stations work? Each station is specially designed to be a unique complement to the material while at the same time, provide a valuable learning experience. Below is an overview of how each station works. In your activity , each will be tailored to the specific content. Station 1: Get Hands-On – using their creative skills, students are required to draw or build. Station 2: Research – using a classroom computer or their own device, students must research a specific question/issue surrounding the topic. Station 3: Explain yourself – students write down an opinion to a question in paragraph form. Station 4: Rest Station - students can use this time to catch up on work they didn't have time to complete at a previous station or prepare themselves for an upcoming one. Station 5 - Applicability reading – students read a short passage from an article, website, etc. which directly connects the classroom content to a real life application. Station 6: Test your knowledge – students answer 5 multiple choice questions then provide a written explanation for how/why they came to their conclusion. Station 7: Learn from the expert – using a classroom computer or their own device, students must watch a short video clip and answer the associated questions. They may stop, rewind and restart as often as they like during the time frame. Station 8 - Rest Station. Station 9: Become the question master – Students must create 2 multiple-choice questions, 2 true/false questions and 1 short answer question. Students must also supply the answers. ------------------------------- You might also be interested in my other lab station activities Biology: • Cell and the Cell Theory • The Human Digestive System • The Circulatory System • The Human Respiratory System • Mitosis and the Cell Cycle • Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis • Photosynthesis • Cancer: Cell Division Gone Wrong - Volume I • Cancer: Cell Division Gone Wrong - Volume II • Cell Membrane and Transport • Hearing and the Human Ear • The Human Eye • Genetic Material: DNA and RNA • The Nervous System • Energy Flow In Ecosystems Ecology and the Environment: • Ecosystems • The Classification of Living Things • Biodiversity and Invasive Species • The Carbon and Water Cycle • Climate Change • Photosynthesis • Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis • Ecological Succession • Plant Sexual and Asexual Reproduction • Earth's Seasons • Interactions Within Ecosystems Physics: • Newton's Three Laws of Motion • Kinetic and Gravitational Potential Energy • Current Electricity and Circuit Diagrams • Static Electricity • Light Optics and the Production of Light • Sound, Sound Energy and Speed • One and Two-Dimensional Motion • Uniform Acceleration • How Planes Fly • Refraction • Friction • Energy and Its Forms • Density and Buoyancy Space Science: • The Life and Death of Stars • The Moon and its Phases • Life In Space • Our Solar System • Solar and Lunar Eclipse • Earth's Seasons • Asteroids, Comets and Meteors Chemistry: • Atomic Model, Notation and Atoms • Chemical Reactions and Balancing Equations • Molecular and Ionic Compounds • Physical and Chemical Properties & Changes • Acids, Bases, and Neutralization Reactions • The Periodic Table • Single and Double Displacement Reactions • Balancing Chemical Equations • Synthesis, Decomposition and Combustion Reactions • Atomic Theory, Atomic Structure and Isotopes • Types of Bonds and Intermolecular Forces • The Mole/Avogadro's Number • Density and Buoyancy These station cards are meant to be used as a lab activity but can also be utilized in a review task before a test or a quiz.
