Archimedes – Scientist Profile and Comprehension Activities Informational Text, Student Tasks & Quiz (PDF, DOCX, H5P) ⚖️🧠 This resource introduces students in grades 7–10 to Archimedes, one of the most influential figures in early science. Best known for his work on buoyancy and the principle of density determination for irregular objects, Archimedes connects classical thought with key scientific concepts still taught today. The material combines factual reading with structured tasks. It can be used flexibly: in science lessons, for cross-curricular units, or as an easy-to-run activity in substitute teaching. Students read a short informational text, fill in a profile worksheet, complete quiz questions, and – if time allows – create their own questions to exchange with a partner. What’s included: Informational text about Archimedes Profile worksheet for comprehension and reflection Answer key for the profile Quiz questions with solutions Two extension tasks: – Create your own questions – Exchange and answer a partner’s questions File formats: – Printable PDF – Editable DOCX (text only) – Interactive H5P version (text-based, no images) In the classroom: I’ve used this kind of resource in regular science lessons as well as in non-specialist cover lessons. The tasks are clear enough for independent work and provide a good balance between reading, writing, and critical thinking. The H5P version allows for easy digital use on learning platforms, especially when students work from home or on devices in class. It’s also great for differentiation: stronger students can work on their own questions, while others use the glossary or reread sections to complete the basics. Whether you use it to introduce Archimedes in physics or to practice nonfiction reading strategies, this is a flexible resource that’s ready to go with little prep. Have fun exploring the world of science with your students! Warmly, Lernfitness Did You Know?

Homologous Series of Alcohols – Word Search Activity (Differentiated)
Life Sciences, Science, STEM, Basic Science, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Environmental Science, Grade 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, Worksheets, Worksheets & Printables, Quizzes, Quizzes and Tests, Teacher Tools, Activities, Games, Task Cards, Crosswords Puzzles, Word Searches
Homologous Series of Alcohols – Word Search Activity (Differentiated) A flexible review task for organic chemistry lessons (Grades 8–11) 🧪🔍 Alkanols Alcanoles This set of word search puzzles offers a quiet but focused way for students to review the homologous series of alcohols in organic chemistry. Instead of asking for definitions or formulae, students engage with key terms through active searching – which can be a surprisingly effective way to reinforce terminology. The material includes 10 word search puzzles , each in two variants (A/B), with five levels of difficulty . These levels are marked with stars (1 to 5), so you can easily differentiate within your classroom. Puzzles vary by grid size and by the direction in which words are hidden – from simple (only forward) to more challenging (also backward and diagonal). The content covers terminology related to the alcohol functional group and homologous series, making it a suitable supplement to introductory or review units in organic chemistry. What’s included: 10 unique puzzles × 2 variants (A and B) 5 differentiation levels based on grid size and word direction Answer keys for all puzzles Color and black-and-white versions for easy printing Chemistry-themed clipart to add visual appeal Ideas for classroom use: I’ve used these word searches both as a quiet review tool and as a warm-up or cool-down at the beginning or end of a lesson. The A/B version is especially useful for classroom management – students working side by side aren’t tempted to copy but still complete equivalent tasks. Students often appreciate the variety, especially when switching between more structured exercises and creative, self-paced activities. Whether as an individual task, a group competition, or a calming option during busy weeks – this resource supports technical vocabulary in a format that feels low-pressure and accessible. A simple and effective addition to your chemistry toolkit. Have fun exploring the world of science with your students! Warmly, Lernfitness Did You Know?

Who Has It? – Chemical Elements Game (1–118) – 3 Levels of Differentiation A cooperative chemistry card game for grades 7–10 to review atomic numbers, element names, and symbols 🧪🎯 This resource is a classroom game that helps students become more confident with the chemical elements – from hydrogen to oganesson. The game follows the well-known “I have… who has?” format and is designed to reinforce students’ understanding of element names, symbols, and atomic numbers in a playful and interactive way. To support different learning levels, the material includes three differentiated versions of the full game, each with 118 element cards: With element names for both question and answer (beginner level) Only the “I have…” part includes the name , the question uses the symbol/number (intermediate level) Without element names – players must match based on symbol and atomic number alone (advanced level) Each version builds on the last and can be used flexibly depending on students' prior knowledge. The game works best with medium to large groups and encourages students to listen carefully, stay engaged, and support one another. What’s included: 3 full card sets (118 cards per set = 354 total) Differentiated by content and level of language support Clear instructions for printing, laminating, and use Ideal for individual, pair, or group work How I use it in class: I’ve played this game both at the end of a chemistry unit and as a fun opener when starting the periodic table. It’s also perfect for substitute lessons or for classes with mixed ability levels. Since each student needs to be ready when their card comes up, it fosters attention and collaboration. This is one of those games where learning happens almost by accident – students are so focused on playing that they internalize atomic numbers and symbols without even noticing. A simple, engaging way to bring structure, repetition, and movement into chemistry class – no extra prep needed. If you're looking for an easy way to help students become more confident with the periodic table, this might be worth trying in your classroom. Best, Heike from Lernfitness Did You Know?

Julius Lothar Meyer – A Lesser-Known Pioneer of the Periodic Table Comprehension Activities A flexible science resource for grades 7–10 (PDF + H5P) 🧪📖 A printable and digital resource science and cross-curricular teaching 🧪🧠 This resource introduces students to Julius Lothar Meyer, a chemist who developed one of the earliest versions of the periodic table—independently of Mendeleev. While Mendeleev is often more widely recognized, Meyer’s work also played a crucial role in organizing chemical elements and identifying patterns that shaped how we understand atomic structure today. The material offers a short, readable text that gives students an overview of Meyer’s scientific contributions. It’s supported by a set of structured activities that encourage reflection and comprehension. The format is ideal for both subject-specific lessons and non-specialist substitute teaching. What’s included: Informational text about Julius Lothar Meyer Profile worksheet for summarizing key facts Quiz questions with a complete solution key Two optional follow-up tasks: – Students create their own questions – Peer exchange and answer activity File formats: – PDF (for print or digital use) – Editable DOCX (text only) – H5P version (interactive and text-based, no images) How it’s used in the classroom: This resource fits well into a chemistry unit on the history of the periodic table, scientific discovery, or atomic theory. I’ve also used it as an extra reading task for early finishers or as a way to bring biographical context into more abstract content. The H5P version is a helpful option for students working online or independently. It supports self-checking and can be easily uploaded to learning platforms. With no extra prep required, the lesson can be used right away—whether printed, projected, or assigned digitally. A thoughtful way to highlight a scientist whose name isn’t always in the spotlight—but whose impact on chemistry is worth exploring. Have fun exploring the world of science with your students!
