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?

XL Domino – Chemical Elements 1–118 | exploring element names + symbol
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
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?

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?

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. 🐶

Correlation Does Not Equal Causation: Scientific Method and Critical Thinking Lesson for Middle Grades or High School
Social Studies, History, Psychology, Science, Basic Science, Grade 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, Activities, Experiments, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets
Scientific Method and Critical Thinking Lesson for Middle or High School Students This lesson walks students through correlation and true experiments in an easy-to-understand and engaging manner. 12 different correlation examples are included. The package includes handouts, notes, diagrams , practice questions, a review, and answer key. How to Use: Print a 7 page package for each of your students. Present pages 1-4 on an interactive whiteboard and teach your students the basics of correlation (scatterplots, positive correlation, negative correlation, correlation coefficients, mistaking correlation as causation, media examples, reverse causation, third variables, etc.) as they fill in questions and notes. Then, students can do the practice questions on their own or in small groups (answer key included). Next, present page 6 to explain how to actually find causation in a true experiment : random selection, random assignment, dependent variable, independent variable, experimental group, control group, etc. Finally, students complete a one-page review (answer key included) Grades to Use With: This lesson was designed to be accessible to students as young as grade six all the way through high school. It could be an addition to a science unit about experimental methods, a science fair unit, a grade 8 math unit about scatter plots, or even a psychology class. Standards: CCSS8.SP.A.1 Construct and interpret scatter plots for bivariate measurement data to investigate patterns of association between two quantities. Describe patterns such as clustering, outliers, positive or negative association, linear association, and nonlinear association. CCSS8.SP.A.2 Know that straight lines are widely used to model relationships between two quantitative variables. For scatter plots that suggest a linear association, informally fit a straight line, and informally assess the model fit by judging the closeness of the data points to the line.
