Niels Bohr – Scientist Profile & Comprehension Activities - PDF + H5P

Niels Bohr – A Look at One of the Founders of Atomic Theory

Informational Text, Student Tasks, and Interactive Quiz (PDF + H5P) 🧪🔬

A ready-to-use classroom resource for grades 7–10 🧪

This material introduces students to Niels Bohr and his ideas about the atom – ideas that still shape how we teach atomic structure today. The text is short and easy to follow, so it works well for younger students or for those who are just starting to learn about atomic models.

I’ve used this kind of format when I needed a quick but meaningful activity – for example, during a unit on atomic theory or as part of a lesson on scientists and their discoveries. It’s also been useful in cover lessons, especially when someone without a science background had to step in. Everything is included and explained clearly.

What’s in the file:

• A short reading text about Niels Bohr

• A profile worksheet for students to fill out

• Quiz questions with an answer key

• Two optional tasks:
  – Students write their own questions
  – Students answer a partner’s questions

• You get everything as a printable PDF, a modifiable .docx file (text only), and a simple H5P version for use in digital learning systems

How you might use it:
Students can read the text alone or in pairs. They then fill in the profile and answer the quiz questions. If there’s still time, they can come up with their own questions about the text and swap them with a classmate. The H5P version is helpful if your students are working online or if you want them to check their answers themselves.

It’s a flexible resource that doesn’t need a lot of explanation – and works just as well in regular science lessons as in emergency planning.

Have fun exploring the world of science with your students!
Warmly,
