Scientist Craig Venter - Fact Sheet, Quiz & Interactive Version (PDF & H5P) Craig Venter – Sequencing the Human Genome and the Future of Synthetic Biology Fact Sheet, Quiz & Interactive Exercises (PDF + H5P) 🧬🧪 This 45-minute resource introduces students in grades 9–12 to Craig Venter – a biologist and geneticist who played a major role in decoding the human genome and pushing the boundaries of synthetic biology. Most students know that DNA holds our genetic information, but they’re often surprised to learn how recently the full human genome was sequenced – and how intense the race to do so actually was. Venter took a different approach from public research teams and became one of the first to publish a full genome sequence. Later, he even worked on building synthetic cells – raising big questions about what defines life. To explore this complex but highly relevant topic, I’ve put together a compact and structured lesson. It includes an informational text, a fact sheet, quiz questions with answers, and a creative task for pairs. All materials are available in color and black-and-white, plus there’s an H5P version for digital classrooms. What’s included: A student-friendly overview of Craig Venter and the Human Genome Project A fact sheet to help students sort key information Quiz questions with answer key for review or independent work A creative task where students come up with their own questions and exchange them in pairs Available as printable PDF and interactive H5P 💻 Answer key included ✅ I’ve used this material in lessons on genetics, biotechnology, and current developments in biology. It also works well when discussing how science and society interact – for example, when ethical questions arise from new technologies. The flexible format fits both group work and individual tasks. 🚀 Download now and bring the legacy of Craig Venter into your biology lessons today! 📍 Best wishes, Heike from Lernfitness Did You Know?

Map Activity: Europeans Come to North America
Social Studies, History, History: World, Grade 6, 7, 8, 9, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets
This mapping activity introduces students to the land claims made by European countries around the 1700s. There are total of 7 questions that students are expected to answer using the map. This is great of review and/or as an introduction to a unit. Ready to print - no prep. The European exploration of the Americas refers to the period of exploration and colonization by various European powers in the Americas, starting in the late 15th century and continuing into the 19th century. This era of exploration had a profound impact on the history, culture, and development of the Americas. Christopher Columbus, an Italian explorer sailing under the Spanish crown, is often credited with initiating the European exploration of the Americas. In 1492, he reached the Caribbean islands, believing he had reached the eastern coast of Asia. Columbus's voyages sparked a wave of exploration by other European powers, primarily Spain and Portugal. The Spanish, led by figures like Hernán Cortés and Francisco Pizarro, explored and conquered vast territories in Central and South America. They established colonies and exploited the region's resources, particularly gold and silver. The Spanish Empire became one of the wealthiest and most powerful in the world. The Portuguese, led by explorers such as Vasco da Gama and Pedro Álvares Cabral, focused their efforts on establishing trading routes to Asia by sailing around the southern tip of Africa. However, they also claimed significant territories in South America, including Brazil. Other European powers, such as England, France, and the Netherlands, also sought to establish colonies and expand their influence in the Americas. English explorers like John Cabot and Sir Walter Raleigh ventured to North America, while French explorers, including Jacques Cartier and Samuel de Champlain, explored and settled parts of present-day Canada. The Dutch established colonies in what is now New York and other areas along the eastern coast of North America. The European exploration of the Americas led to the establishment of permanent colonies, the introduction of European diseases that devastated native populations, and the transatlantic slave trade, which forcibly brought millions of Africans to the Americas to work on plantations and in mines. The colonization and exploitation of the Americas by European powers had far-reaching consequences, including the reshaping of indigenous cultures, the establishment of new political and economic systems, and the eventual independence movements that led to the formation of modern nation-states in the Americas. It's important to note that the European exploration of the Americas was not a single, unified endeavor. Different European powers had different goals, methods, and interactions with indigenous peoples. The history of this period is complex and multifaceted, involving numerous explorers, conquistadors, and colonizers, each contributing to the overall narrative of European exploration and colonization in the Americas.

Wonder (2017): Complete Movie Guide
P.E. & Health, Life Studies, Grade 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets
"Wonder" is a heartwarming movie released in 2017 based on the novel by R.J. Palacio. It tells the story of Auggie Pullman, a 10-year-old boy with a facial deformity who is starting fifth grade at a new school. Auggie has been homeschooled his entire life due to his condition, but his parents, Isabel and Nate, think it's time for him to experience a traditional school setting. Auggie is nervous about starting school because he knows he looks different from other kids and is afraid of being bullied or teased. The movie follows Auggie's journey as he tries to fit in at school and make new friends. He faces many challenges along the way, including being bullied by some of his classmates, but also finds support from others who accept him for who he is. In addition to Auggie's story, the movie also explores the perspectives of other characters, including Auggie's older sister Via, who feels neglected by her parents' focus on Auggie's needs, and Auggie's classmates, who struggle with their own issues and prejudices. Throughout the movie, Auggie learns important lessons about empathy, kindness, and the importance of being true to yourself. The movie has a positive message about accepting differences and embracing diversity. "Wonder" is a touching and inspiring movie that will make you laugh, cry, and feel all the emotions in between. It's a reminder that kindness and compassion can go a long way in making the world a better place. "Based on the New York Times bestseller, this movie tells the incredibly inspiring and heartwarming story of August Pullman, a boy with facial differences who enters the fifth grade, attending a mainstream elementary school for the first time."
