Worm Composting in the School Garden – Info Posters for the Classroom Visual Guide to Worm Composting for Grades 3–8 🪱🌿 Worm box in the school garden - Compost - Worm bin This set of three info posters provides a clear and age-appropriate introduction to worm composting. Designed for students in grades 3–6, the materials explain how a worm bin works, what can go into it, and how it contributes to sustainable gardening. The posters are ideal for classrooms with a school garden or composting project. They serve as a visual aid to help students understand the composting process and the role of worms in breaking down organic waste. The language is simple, and the illustrations are easy to follow – even for younger learners or multilingual groups. What’s included: Three printable posters (PDF) with clear illustrations and explanations Topics covered: setting up a worm bin, suitable materials for composting, and the benefits of worm composting Suitable for display in the classroom, garden area, or near the compost bin These posters support hands-on learning and can be integrated into science lessons on ecosystems, recycling, or environmental stewardship. I’ve used them in combination with a real worm box project – the students loved checking what the worms were doing and became much more aware of food waste. This resource is available in English and is designed to complement practical activities in the school garden. It’s also a nice visual reminder that even small actions – like feeding worms – can make a difference for the environment. 📍 Best wishes, Heike from Lernfitness Biology teacher (Chemistry teacher, Math teacher) Did You Know?

Shell Model – Chemistry Flashcards Without Element Names 118 cards for learning the periodic table Visual practice with atomic structure and electron configurations 🧪🔬 This printable flashcard set gives students a hands-on way to practice atomic structure and the shell model – without revealing the element names. Each of the 118 cards shows the atomic number, the chemical symbol, and a diagram of the electron distribution across shells. This encourages students to actively recall element names and deepen their understanding of how atomic structure relates to the periodic table. I’ve used these cards mainly for review and partner quizzes. Students really have to think: “What element has 11 electrons and that shell pattern?” or “Which group might this symbol belong to?” It shifts the focus from just memorizing the periodic table to actually understanding the structure behind it. What’s included: 118 printable flashcards (PDF) Each card includes: atomic number, symbol, and shell model (no element names) High-resolution layout, easy to print and cut Suggestions for classroom use included Classroom ideas: Use the cards as a “Find the Pairs” game: Print two sets and let students match identical cards or group elements by patterns. Use them for sorting tasks: metals vs. non-metals, main groups vs. transition metals, increasing number of shells, etc. Create mini-quiz stations: One student shows a card, the other has to guess the element name or describe properties based on the shell model. Let students use the cards to quiz themselves or work in pairs for peer learning. The fact that the element name is missing makes the activity more cognitively demanding – great for more advanced learners or as a follow-up to a unit on atomic structure. Students are more engaged when they can “figure things out” rather than just read off answers. The resource is ready to print. For repeated use, laminating is recommended. 📍 Best wishes, Heike from @Lernfitness Did You Know?

Chemistry Binder Covers – Templates for Classroom Use Organize your chemistry handouts, notes, and units with visual clarity Simple and flexible templates to help organize your chemistry materials In my chemistry 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 chemistry-themed cover pages different colors zu choose as a cover sheet as a divider between the individual chemistry 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 Chemistry teacher (Biology teacher, Math teacher) in Germany Did You Know?

Interactive Chemistry Quiz: GHS Symbols – Genially (+ PDF Version) Bring lab safety to life with this interactive quiz on the GHS (Globally Harmonized System) hazard symbols – perfect for middle and high school chemistry lessons. Whether you're starting the unit or wrapping up a safety review, this quiz adds variety, visual appeal, and a bit of fun to your lesson plan. You’ll get two versions of the quiz: – A PDF version that can be used digitally or printed (but it works not well) – A Genially link that leads to an animated, interactive version (includes sound – which can be muted) Both versions test students on the meanings of the various GHS symbols – from corrosive substances to environmental hazards. The quiz includes original clipart and my own glitter-animated GHS symbols to make the content more visually appealing without distracting from the important safety message. I usually use the Genially quiz for individual work in the computer lab or on tablets, so each student can go at their own pace. But it also works well as a station activity , a class-wide quiz , or even as homework , depending on your classroom setup. At the end of the PDF, you’ll find: A QR code to scan directly to the Genially A clickable link for browser access An iframe embed code , if you want to use it on your (non-commercial) learning platform Attention: The interactive PDF does not contain the full scope of the material. The quiz works. Unfortunately, the additional tasks do not. Using Genially is therefore recommended and much more motivating for the pupils. For the interactive quiz you need an internet connection and a terminal device. The quiz can be carried out with the whole class or as partner or individual work. I prefer individual work at each student's own pace. To get to the Genially link, either scan the QR code at the end of the document or click on the link button available there. You can also copy the iframe code and embed the Genially on a learning platform or other... The Genially can be used either at the beginning of the topic or as a backup. It is also worth using as a station in station work. The interactive version includes motivating sound effects , a self-paced structure , and a clear, age-appropriate design for grades 7–10. 📌 Important note : The Genially quiz is protected by copyright. It’s for your own classroom use only . Please don’t share the link or embed it outside a private, secure learning environment. Sharing with colleagues, online platforms, or social media is not permitted. I hope your students enjoy reviewing GHS symbols as much as mine do! – Heike from @Lernfitness 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 resource covers the following topics: - Skin layers - Hair - Sweat - Skin color - Sunburn and tanning - Nails 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 than provide a written explanation for how/why they came to their conclusions. 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 • DNA Manipulation and GMOs • Transcription and Translation • Cellular Respiration • Thermoregulation • Proteins and Nucleic Acids • Mutations • Meiosis • DNA, Genes, Chromosomes, and Alleles • Genetic Disorders • Fats • Reproductive Technologies • Muscular and Skeletal System • Integumentary System Coming Soon: - Excretory system - Endocrine system - Carbohydrates and Lipids 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 • Electricity Production • Calculating Average Speed, Velocity, and Displacement • Mass, Volume, Density, & Buoyancy • Work and Energy • Renewable Energy • Plate Tectonics • The Rock Cycle • Natural Disasters • Pressure, Volume, and Temperature Coming Soon: - Work = F x d - Nonrenewable energy sources - Projectile Motion - Momentum, Conservation of Momentum and Impulse - Power - The Doppler Effect and Supersonic Travel 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 • The Particle Theory and the Classification of Matter • Pure Substances and Mixtures • Solutions and Mechanical Mixtures Coming Soon: - Periodic table group properties General Science: • The Scientific Method and Science Skills • The Different Types of Clouds 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 • Physical and Behavioral Adaptations 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 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.

XL Domino – Chemical Elements 1–118 An interactive domino game for exploring element names and symbols 🧪🎲 This printable XL domino game offers a fun and flexible way for students to practice the names and symbols of all 118 chemical elements. Designed for use in grades 7–10, this resource supports both introductory lessons and ongoing review in chemistry class. Whether used in small groups, as a full-class activity, or even spread out along the hallway floor, it encourages active learning and collaboration. Each card features either the name or the symbol of a chemical element. By matching these correctly, students build a long domino chain – all while reinforcing their knowledge of atomic numbers, symbols, and the layout of the periodic table. What’s included: 238 printable domino cards (PDF format) Two complete versions of the game (119 cards each): – Beginner version: element names on both sides – Advanced version: name on one side, symbol on the other Covers all elements from hydrogen (1) to oganesson (118) Tips for setup and gameplay included How I’ve used it: This game works well before introducing the periodic table in depth. It gives students time to get comfortable with element names and symbols in a low-pressure setting. The larger card format makes it ideal for group work or movement-based activities, such as arranging the cards on the floor or in the hallway. Why it works: The visual repetition and active gameplay help students internalize key facts more effectively than passive memorization. Group dynamics also support peer learning – students naturally help each other recall unfamiliar elements. And because it feels like a game, students stay engaged longer and show more willingness to participate. The material is easy to prepare: print, laminate if you like, and cut out the cards. From there, you can adapt it for differentiated learning levels or turn it into a competitive classroom challenge. This is not just a game – it’s a versatile teaching tool that brings the periodic table to life. 📍 Best wishes, Heike from @Lernfitness Did You Know?
