Scientist Jacques Monod - Fact Sheet, Quiz & Interactive Version (PDF & H5P) Jacques Monod – Gene Regulation and the Logic of Life Fact Sheet, Quiz & Interactive Exercises (PDF + H5P) 🧬⚙️ This 45-minute resource introduces students in grades 9–11 to Jacques Monod – a French molecular biologist whose work helped uncover how genes are turned on and off. In many biology classes, students learn what DNA is and how proteins are made. But the question of how cells know which genes to activate – and when – often stays abstract. Monod, together with François Jacob, studied this in bacteria and developed the model of the lac operon. It’s a great example of how cells respond to their environment, and it laid the groundwork for much of what we know about gene regulation today. To make this topic more tangible, I’ve created a compact, ready-to-use lesson that breaks it down into manageable parts. It includes an informational text, a fact sheet, quiz questions with answers, and a creative partner task. The material comes in color and black-and-white versions, plus there’s a digital H5P version. What’s included: A clear, student-friendly text about Jacques Monod and the lac operon A fact sheet to help students sort and retain key information Quiz questions with an answer key – good for review or independent work A task where students design and exchange their own questions in pairs Printable PDF and interactive H5P formats for flexible use 💻 Answer key included ✅ I’ve used this resource during our genetics unit, especially when moving from DNA basics to regulation and gene expression. It also fits well in discussions about how scientific models are developed and tested. The partner task works well in small groups or for homework – depending on your setup. 🚀 Download now and bring the legacy of Jacques Monod into your biology lessons today! 📍 Best wishes, Heike from Lernfitness Did You Know?

Who Has It? – Main Group Elements Game (6 Levels of Differentiation) A chemistry card game to review the main group elements in a structured and playful way (Grades 7–10) 🧪🎯 This classroom game is based on the “I have… who has?” format and helps students review the main group elements of the periodic table. It focuses on atomic numbers, element symbols, and – depending on the level – the correct element names. The game format encourages full-class participation, supports recall through repetition, and helps even quieter students get involved in a low-pressure way. The special feature: six levels of differentiation , so you can tailor the material to your students’ abilities. Whether you teach a mixed-level group or want to build in progression over time, these sets offer plenty of flexibility. What’s included: 3 card sets × 2 difficulty paths = 6 levels total Each set contains 52 cards (156 cards total) Elements included: all main group elements up to element 118 Levels range from fully labeled to no element names at all Clear instructions for printing, cutting, and gameplay Differentiation overview: Levels 1 & 2: All names included Levels 3 & 4: Only “I have” part includes names Levels 5 & 6: No names – only symbols and atomic numbers How to use in class: In my own lessons, I’ve used this as a review after teaching atomic structure or periodic trends. It works well as a class opener, during stations, or even in a substitute lesson. The A/B sets are helpful when students sit close together – it prevents copying but keeps everyone working on the same task. Students enjoy the rhythm of the game, and because every card depends on the one before, they naturally stay attentive. It’s a great way to combine repetition with interaction. Low-prep, flexible, and genuinely useful for learning chemical elements in a collaborative setting. Best, Heike from Lernfitness Did You Know?

His work not only earned him a Nobel Prize, but also laid the groundwork for the atomic models students learn about in middle and high school. The material is designed to be easy to use – even if you’re short on prep time. The reading text is short and accessible, followed by a structured worksheet and quiz questions. It’s suitable for science lessons focused on atomic theory or the history of chemistry, but it also works well in substitute teaching settings since students can work through it independently. Included in this resource: A short informational text on J.J. Thomson A profile worksheet to help students summarize key points Quiz questions (with solution key) Two extension activities: – Students write their own questions based on the reading – Exchange and answer a partner’s questions File formats: – PDF (for printing or digital use) – DOCX (editable, text only) – H5P version (interactive, for learning platforms) How I use it in class: I like using materials like this at the start of a unit on atomic structure or when we discuss the development of scientific models. It gives students a chance to see how our current understanding has evolved – and reminds them that science is built on the ideas of real people. The H5P version allows for digital delivery and self-checking, making it great for homework or blended learning. It also gives students the chance to reflect, work at their own pace, or collaborate in pairs. Quick to prepare, easy to adapt – and a great way to connect abstract content to the scientists who helped shape it. Have fun exploring the world of science with your students!
