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?

Democritus – Introducing a Pioneer of Atomic Theory | PDF + H5P
Life Sciences, Science, STEM, History: World, History, Social Studies, Biographies, Inventors, Basic Science, Human Body, Grade 6, 7, 8, 9, Worksheets, Worksheets & Printables, Quizzes, Quizzes and Tests, Teacher Tools, Projects, Activities
Democritus – Introducing a Pioneer of Atomic Theory Informational text, profile worksheet, and interactive quiz (PDF + H5P) 🧪📄 This resource introduces students to Democritus, one of the earliest thinkers to describe the idea of atoms. Although his theories were based on philosophy rather than experimental science, his work laid the foundation for what would later become atomic theory. The material is designed for use in grades 7–10 and works well in both subject-specific chemistry lessons and interdisciplinary settings such as history of science or philosophy of science. What’s included: Informational text on Democritus Printable profile worksheet Answer key for the profile Quiz questions based on the text (with solutions) Two extension tasks: – Students write their own questions about the text – Exchange and answer questions with a partner File formats: – Printable and digital PDF – Editable .docx version (text only) – H5P version for interactive use in LMS platforms (no images) How I use it: The material can be used as part of a chemistry unit introducing atomic models or scientific thinking. I’ve also used it in non-specialist substitute lessons, since the tasks are self-explanatory and include answer keys. Students first read the text and complete a short profile about Democritus, then move on to quiz questions for comprehension. The optional extension tasks promote active engagement and peer interaction, and are ideal if you want to add 10–15 extra minutes to the lesson. This resource works in traditional classroom settings, for independent work, or in digital environments thanks to the H5P version. It’s also useful for differentiating – more advanced students can create and exchange their own questions, while others focus on the basics. No extra prep required – just print or upload, and the lesson is ready to go. Have fun exploring the world of science with your students! Warmly, Lernfitness Did You Know?

Hermann von Helmholtz - Fact Sheet, Quiz & Interactive Version (PDF & H5P) Hermann von Helmholtz – Sensory Physiology Made Understandable Fact Sheet, Quiz & Interactive Exercises (PDF + H5P) This material introduces students in grades 7–10 to the life and research of Hermann von Helmholtz – one of the key figures behind our scientific understanding of vision, hearing, and nerve conduction. Even if students already know a bit about how our senses work, most are surprised to learn how long ago these topics were explored in depth – and by whom. Helmholtz’s work at the intersection of biology, physics, and medicine still shapes modern neuroscience today. To make this complex content more accessible, I put together a compact set of resources you can easily use in a 45-minute lesson. It includes a short text, a fact sheet, quiz questions (with answers), and a few creative tasks to get students thinking and interacting.

Scientist Richard Dawkins - Fact Sheet, Quiz & Interactive Version (PDF & H5P) Richard Dawkins – Genes, Evolution, and the “Selfish Gene” Fact Sheet, Quiz & Interactive Exercises (PDF + H5P) 🧬🐒 This 45-minute resource introduces students in grades 9–12 to Richard Dawkins – an evolutionary biologist best known for popularizing the idea of the “selfish gene.” By the time students reach upper secondary levels, they usually have a solid understanding of natural selection. Dawkins' perspective invites them to look one level deeper: not just at organisms competing for survival, but at genes as the driving force behind evolution . His work sparked a lot of discussion – not only in science, but also in philosophy and ethics. To help students engage with these more abstract ideas, I’ve put together a structured and accessible lesson. It includes a short informational text, a fact sheet, quiz questions with answers, and a creative partner task. The materials are available in color and black-and-white versions, plus there’s a digital H5P version for interactive use. What’s included: A student-friendly overview of Richard Dawkins and the core ideas of The Selfish Gene A fact sheet to help students organize key concepts Quiz questions with solutions for quick comprehension checks A partner task where students create and exchange questions Available as printable PDF and interactive H5P version 💻 Answer key included ✅ I’ve used this resource in upper-level biology and ethics courses – especially when discussing how scientific ideas evolve and how they influence thinking beyond the lab. The material also opens up interesting conversations about the role of science communication. Works well for individual tasks, pair work, or short discussion-based projects. 🚀 Download now and bring the legacy of Richard Dawkins into your biology lessons today! 📍 Best wishes, Heike from Lernfitness Did You Know?
