For this online interactive history worksheet, students respond to 9 short answer and essay questions about the achievements of Niels Bohr. Students may check some of their answers on the interactive worksheet.
Curated OER
Coin Shake-Up
Students discuss problem and take turns in pairs, one tossing the coins while the other guesses whether the coins land with the same side up or different sides up. They record the results of each guess as same or different.
