Scientist Lynn Margulis - Fact Sheet, Quiz & Interactive Version (PDF & H5P) Lynn Margulis – Endosymbiosis and a New View of Evolution Fact Sheet, Quiz & Interactive Exercises (PDF + H5P) 🧫🔬 This 45-minute resource introduces students in grades 7–10 to Lynn Margulis – a scientist who challenged conventional ideas about evolution and opened up new ways of understanding how complex cells came to be. Many students are familiar with Darwin and natural selection, but fewer know about Margulis and her theory of endosymbiosis. Through her work in the 1960s and 70s, she proposed that parts of our cells – like mitochondria and chloroplasts – actually originated from ancient symbiotic bacteria. Her ideas weren’t widely accepted at first, but over time they became a foundational part of modern biology. To make this topic accessible, I’ve put together a compact, ready-to-use lesson with everything needed for a solid introduction. It includes a short informational text, a fact sheet, quiz questions with answers, and a creative partner task. All materials are available in both color and black-and-white versions, plus there’s an H5P version for digital use. What’s included: A student-friendly text about Lynn Margulis and her contributions to evolutionary biology A fact sheet to help students collect and structure key points Quiz questions with solutions for quick checks or review A pair activity where students create and exchange their own questions Printable PDF and interactive H5P formats for flexible use 💻 Answer key included ✅ I’ve used this resource as part of our evolution unit, especially when discussing how scientific theories develop and why some ideas take time to be accepted. It also fits well into lessons on women in science or interdisciplinary approaches to biology. The format allows for independent work, partner activities, or short projects – whatever suits your group best. 🚀 Download now and bring the legacy of Lynn Margulis 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. 🐶✨

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 💻.

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?

The Butler (2013): Complete Movie Guide with Historical References
Social Studies, History, History: African, History: USA, Grade 9, 10, 11, 12, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets
Forest Whitaker stars as Cecil Gaines, a fictional character inspired by Eugene Allen. Cecil grows up in the racially segregated South and witnesses his father's murder by a white plantation owner. He later finds work as a domestic servant in a hotel, where he hones his skills as a butler. Cecil's exceptional work ethic and dedication catch the attention of a White House representative, who offers him a job as a butler in the White House. Cecil accepts the position, and over the years, he becomes a trusted and respected member of the White House staff, serving various presidents. As Cecil carries out his duties, the film depicts the tumultuous events and social changes taking place in America. From the civil rights movement and the Vietnam War to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Cecil observes and is indirectly affected by the shifting political and social landscape. "The Butler" also delves into Cecil's personal life, particularly his relationship with his wife, Gloria, played by Oprah Winfrey, and their two sons. Cecil's dedication to his work often comes at the cost of his relationships, causing strain within his family. Throughout the film, Cecil struggles with his role as a passive observer to the racial inequality and injustice surrounding him. As the civil rights movement gains momentum, his eldest son, Louis, played by David Oyelowo, becomes an activist, causing tension and ideological clashes between them. "The Butler" combines fictional elements with historical events, featuring an ensemble cast that includes notable actors portraying various U.S. presidents, such as Robin Williams as Dwight D. Eisenhower, John Cusack as Richard Nixon, and Alan Rickman as Ronald Reagan. The film aims to highlight the experiences of African-Americans during a transformative period in American history, emphasizing the personal journey of Cecil Gaines and the impact of his service in the White House. It touches on themes of race, identity, family, and the struggle for civil rights. "The Butler" serves as a poignant exploration of the African-American experience through the eyes of a butler who witnesses firsthand the complexities of power, politics, and social change in America. These 25 teacher-generated questions are designed to help students focus in on key information during this powerful movie. I have also included 4 historical reference points (short excerpts to help give students a historical reference point for the printables /parts-of-and-anatomy-of">parts of the movie). Ready to print and use! Comes with a completed answer key! The movie is available on iTunes and Amazon.
