Niels Bohr – A Look at One of the Founders of Atomic Theory Informational Text, Student Tasks, and Interactive Quiz (PDF + H5P) 🧪🔬 A ready-to-use classroom resource for grades 7–10 🧪 This material introduces students to Niels Bohr and his ideas about the atom – ideas that still shape how we teach atomic structure today. The text is short and easy to follow, so it works well for younger students or for those who are just starting to learn about atomic models. I’ve used this kind of format when I needed a quick but meaningful activity – for example, during a unit on atomic theory or as part of a lesson on scientists and their discoveries. It’s also been useful in cover lessons, especially when someone without a science background had to step in. Everything is included and explained clearly. What’s in the file: A short reading text about Niels Bohr A profile worksheet for students to fill out Quiz questions with an answer key Two optional tasks: – Students write their own questions – Students answer a partner’s questions You get everything as a printable PDF, a modifiable .docx file (text only), and a simple H5P version for use in digital learning systems How you might use it: Students can read the text alone or in pairs. They then fill in the profile and answer the quiz questions. If there’s still time, they can come up with their own questions about the text and swap them with a classmate. The H5P version is helpful if your students are working online or if you want them to check their answers themselves. It’s a flexible resource that doesn’t need a lot of explanation – and works just as well in regular science lessons as in emergency planning. Have fun exploring the world of science with your students! Warmly, Lernfitness Did You Know? I teach with a certified therapy dog, and together we focus on creating a positive and inspiring learning environment.

Waves, Light, Imaging: Physical Science Reading Comprehension Passages and Questions (PDF) This very engaging collection of physical science reading passages about Waves, Light, and Imaging is designed to bridge the gap between science and literacy through strengthening reading comprehension and sparking scientific curiosity in middle school students. Each passage blends English Language Arts skills with accurate science content that supports NGSS classroom practice. Ideal for interdisciplinary learning in ELA and Science. Suitable for Grade 9 review, too! What Is Included? There are (3) informational passages: How Sound Travels: Sound starts with a vibration that squeezes and stretches nearby matter, sending a wave through air, water, or solid material. The ear and brain team up to turn those moving pressures into the pitch and loudness we hear, which is why sound needs a medium. Seeing Color: Reflection, Absorption, Refraction: Color shows up only when light hits an object and some wavelengths bounce back to the eye. Materials reflect, absorb, or bend light differently, so a prism, a black backpack, or even dim lighting can change what we see. Cameras: From Dark Rooms to Smartphones: A simple darkened box with a tiny opening once projected faint, upside-down scenes onto a wall. Adding lenses, mirrors, film, and later digital sensors turned that idea into cameras for art, news, and everyday life, ending with phones that can snap and share in seconds.

Sir James Dewar – A Look at the Scientist Behind the Vacuum Flask Comprehension Activities A short reading and task-based resource for grades 7–10 science classrooms (PDF + H5P) 🧪🌡️ A printable and digital resource for grades 7–10 science and cross-curricular teaching 🧪🧠 This resource introduces students to Sir James Dewar, a Scottish chemist and physicist best known for inventing the Dewar flask – a forerunner of the modern thermos. His work in low-temperature chemistry and physics helped pave the way for cryogenics and many everyday technologies we take for granted today. The material is designed to be flexible and easy to use. It centers on a short, student-friendly informational text and includes structured follow-up tasks that support comprehension and encourage independent thinking. Whether you're working in a chemistry unit or simply want to connect scientific tools to the people who developed them, this resource fits in with very little preparation needed. What’s included: Informational text about the life and work of James Dewar Student worksheet for creating a personal scientist profile Quiz questions to check understanding (with solutions) Two extension tasks for optional pair or individual work: – Students write their own questions – Partner exchange and answer Formats: – PDF (ready to print or display) – Editable DOCX (text only) – H5P version for digital classrooms (text-based, no images) How it works in class: You can use this resource to complement lessons on scientific inventions, energy, temperature, or lab equipment. I’ve also used it when I needed a calm, structured reading activity that students could complete independently. The extension tasks are helpful when you want to build in peer exchange without needing new materials. The H5P format is useful in digital settings and supports self-paced learning. Everything is ready to go – just print, project, or upload. A simple and effective way to explore the link between science history and the tools we still use today. Have fun exploring the world of science with your students! Warmly, Lernfitness Did You Know?
