Interactive Chemistry Quiz: GHS Symbols – Genially + PDF Version

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?

Chemistry Blackboard Cards – Chemical Elements 1–118 Visual support for teaching the periodic table in grades 7–11 🧪🧲 This printable set contains blackboard-sized cards for all 118 chemical elements, designed to make the periodic table more accessible and interactive in your classroom. Each card includes the element’s name, atomic number, and chemical symbol in a clean, easy-to-read format – perfect for whiteboard work, displays, and hands-on sorting tasks. The cards are arranged two per A4 page and can be printed, laminated, and reused across many lessons. I’ve used them to build a large-scale classroom periodic table, support sorting games by group or period, and even for spontaneous quizzes at the board. What’s included: 118 blackboard cards (PDF format) Each card shows: element name, chemical symbol, atomic number 2 cards per A4 page for easy printing Black-and-white, ideal for printing and possible color-coding How it’s used in class: These cards are great for front-of-class instruction but also work well in group activities or as a station-based task. Students can work in teams to arrange the elements in correct order, match symbols to names, or explore relationships between groups and periods. Because the design is simple and consistent, students can focus on the content rather than being distracted by layout. The cards support visual learning and active participation. They’re especially useful for mixed-ability classes: more confident students might work from memory, while others use a printed periodic table for support. You can also let students take on teaching roles by explaining selected elements to peers at the board. This is a practical tool for visualizing chemistry concepts – no extra prep required beyond printing and cutting. Laminate for longer use. 📍 Best wishes, Heike from @Lernfitness Did You Know?

Air Pressure Presentation
Science, Basic Science, Grade 4, 5, Presentations, Teacher Tools
Whether your students are studying the atmosphere or are completing science experiments , you’ll want to have engaging and informative resources for instruction. This is an Air Pressure Presentation. It is brief, but informative enough for students to learn from. The objective is for students to understand what air pressure is, how it works, and how to apply that understanding. This is a science lesson for upper elementary students in 4th – 5th grade. The presentation will begin with a picture for students to analyze. It is a picture of football players in action and students will decide who they think is experiencing the most pressure. The next slide will provide a visual representation of air molecules and how air pressure affects the molecules. Moving to the next slide, students will be given another example to imagine. The scenarios provided will be a great opportunity for students to brainstorm and discuss together. If you are looking for a way to increase student engagement in your class, that will do the trick!

This PowerPoint about Light and Dark can help children to begin to understand the relationship between all living things and the sun; our need for light and the sun. What does the Light and Dark PowerPoint teach? Simply explained, children will learn: Darkness is the absence of light The sun is the main source of light on Planet Earth It reminds pupils never to look directly at the sun The sun provides warmth too - or Earth would be very cold Why plants need the sun: to make food to help them reproduce Creatures that come out in the daytime (the need for survival) Shadows - how they are formed Plants and animals that prefer the shade and why (the need for survival) Creatures of the night, and why? Nocturnal (the need for survival) This PowerPoint is silent but comes with full narration notes, both under each slide for use in Presenter View, or as a PDF. Do: Relate the slides to your pupil's experience. The slower pace of a Powerpoint means that the teacher is control and can add or subtract material as is felt necessary. What is included? 135 slide PowerPoint PDF Narration notes More: Why not team the Light and Dark PowerPoint with our Seasons PowerPoint as they go together very well? https://teachsimple.com/product/the-seasons-powerpoint-ks1
