Scientist Barbara McClintock - Fact Sheet, Quiz & Interactive Version (PDF & H5P) Barbara McClintock – Genetics and the Discovery of Jumping Genes Fact Sheet, Quiz & Interactive Exercises (PDF + H5P) 🌽🧬 This 45-minute resource introduces students in grades 7–10 to Barbara McClintock – a pioneering geneticist whose research changed the way we understand genes and heredity. Many students know the basics of DNA and inheritance, but fewer have heard of McClintock or her discovery of “jumping genes” (transposons). Working with maize plants 🌽 in the mid-20th century, she found that genes can move within the genome – a finding that was far ahead of its time and only fully recognized years later. To help students access this complex but fascinating topic, I’ve created a compact and ready-to-use lesson. It includes an informational text, a fact sheet, quiz questions with answers, and a creative partner task. All materials come in both color and black-and-white versions, plus there’s an H5P version for digital use. What’s included: A short, student-friendly text about Barbara McClintock and her scientific contributions A fact sheet to help students organize key information Quiz questions (with answer key) for self-checking or review A creative task where students come up with their own questions and exchange them in pairs Formats: Printable/digital PDF and interactive H5P version 💻 Answer key included ✅ I’ve used this material as part of our genetics unit, especially when discussing how scientific ideas are received and validated over time. It also works well in lessons on women in science or the history of biology. Easy to implement and suitable for partner work, independent study, or short projects. 🚀 Download now and bring the legacy of Barbara McClintock into your biology lessons today! 📍 Best wishes, Heike from Lernfitness Did You Know?

Chemistry Binder Covers – Templates for Classroom Use Organize your chemistry handouts, notes, and units with visual clarity Simple and flexible templates to help organize your chemistry materials In my chemistry 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 chemistry-themed cover pages different colors zu choose as a cover sheet as a divider between the individual chemistry 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 Chemistry teacher (Biology teacher, Math teacher) in Germany Did You Know?

Alkali Metals Concept Wheel – Interactive Chemistry Activity for Grade

Alkali Metals Concept Wheel – Interactive Chemistry Activity for Grades 7–10 Learn Alkali Metals - visual learning 🧪🧠 This concept wheel is a practical way to help students understand the alkali metals in Group 1 of the periodic table. I first made it for a grade 8 class that was struggling with the idea of chemical families. Instead of giving them another chart to copy, I tried this wheel activity, and it worked much better because they could see and handle the information piece by piece. The wheel has eight sections that cover the basics: general properties, reactivity, how these elements appear in nature, and some everyday uses. Students cut out and arrange the pieces to build the full circle. The activity takes a little bit of preparation, but once the pieces are made, you can reuse them. I usually store the sets in small envelopes so they are ready for the next lesson. There are different versions included. Some circles are already filled in, which is helpful when introducing the topic for the first time. Others are blank, so students can write their own notes after a lab or reading assignment. I have used the blank ones during review sessions, and students liked comparing their wheels with a partner’s version. It also gives them a sense of ownership over the material. The wheel can be used in many ways: as a warm-up before a lab, as practice during a unit on the periodic table, or as a review before a quiz. It works for group tasks, but I have also had students complete it on their own. When the wheels are finished, they make a clear visual display for the classroom or for a student’s notebook. This activity is designed for grades 7–10 chemistry or physical science. It supports lessons on periodic trends, classification of elements, and the special role of the alkali metals. 📍 Best wishes, Heike from @Lernfitness Did You Know?

However, teaching our students to become scientifically literate is vital if we want them to succeed in life. We need them to know about the world they live in and about the issues they face. Even issues as simple as the common cold are misunderstood and can lead to the misuse of antibacterial drugs eventually rendering them ineffective. It can be used as a tool in your teaching arsenal on a regular basis, an extension activity for your faster learners, left for a substitute in an emergency or planned absence or as an extra bit of information for a topic. ***************************** For free resources, useful teaching tips, and tools, please visit my blog - TeachScienceWithFergy.com If you have any questions please feel free to send me an email - devon@teachwithfergy.com

Appropriate for all ages, middle and high school students will be challenged by the "The Lost Room's" symbolism and themes. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Richard Post came late to writing YA literature, but he has been a storyteller and raconteur his entire life. When he’s not writing short stories for The Language of Educational Art, he enjoys fishing for rock bass on Higgins Lake, hunting pheasants on the farms of mid-Michigan, bottling sun pickles (here's his famous recipe ), hosting “whoopie” parties for his grandchildren, and playing cribbage. He lives with his wife Beverly in St. Louis, Michigan and Orange Beach, Alabama. Although this resource can be fitted for any secondary Language Arts classroom, it has been carefully designed to work best in grades 9 through 12. The included activities and rubric are subtly but specifically tied to Common Core ELA Standards for Language (1 and 2), Reading Literature (2), and Writing (2).

Scientist Francis Crick - Fact Sheet, Quiz & Interactive Version (PDF & H5P) Francis Crick – The DNA Double Helix and the Origins of Modern Genetics Fact Sheet, Quiz & Interactive Exercises (PDF + H5P) 🧬 This 45-minute resource introduces students in grades 7–10 to Francis Crick and his role in uncovering the structure of DNA – one of the most influential discoveries in modern biology. Many students are familiar with the term DNA, but only a few know the story behind how scientists first identified its double helix shape. Together with James Watson, and building on the work of Rosalind Franklin, Crick helped explain how genetic information is stored and passed on – a breakthrough that still shapes biology and medicine today. To make this complex topic easier to teach, I’ve put together a concise and structured lesson. It includes a short informational text, a fact sheet, quiz questions with answers, and a creative task where students come up with their own questions. All versions are included – both in color and black-and-white – and there’s also an interactive H5P version for digital use 💻. What’s included: A short, accessible text on Francis Crick and the discovery of DNA A fact sheet to help students sort and reflect on the key points Quiz questions (with solutions) to check understanding A creative task where students write and exchange their own questions Formats: Printable/digital PDF and interactive H5P version Answer key included ✅ I’ve used this during our genetics unit, but it also fits well in lessons on the history of science or how discoveries are made. It’s easy to integrate and works well for partner work, independent tasks, or short science projects. 🚀 Download now and bring the legacy of Francis Crick into your biology lessons today! 📍 Best wishes, Heike from Lernfitness Did You Know? I teach with a certified therapy dog, and together we create a positive and inspiring learning environment. 🐶✨
