Atomic Shell Model Domino – Learning Electron Configurations Play
STEM, Science, Chemistry, Physics, Life Sciences, Montessori, Basic Science, Grade 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, Activities, Games, Worksheets & Printables, Task Cards, Quizzes and Tests, Teacher Tools, Word Problems, Flashcards, Escape Room, Experiments
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? I teach with a certified therapy dog, and together we create a positive and welcoming learning environment. 🐶

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. 🐶✨
