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?

Shell Model – Chemistry Flashcards Without Element Names
STEM, Science, Chemistry, Physics, Life Sciences, Grade 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, Activities, Games, Worksheets & Printables, Task Cards, Quizzes and Tests, Teacher Tools, Word Problems, Flashcards, Escape Room, Experiments
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?

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? I teach with a certified therapy dog, and together we create a positive and inspiring learning environment. 🐶✨
