A 2000+ slide PowerPoint presentation from www.sciencepowerpoint.com becomes the roadmap for an amazing learning experience. Complete with homework package, built-in activities with directions, built-in quizzes, unit notes, follow along worksheets, answer keys, video links, review games, rubrics, and much more.
Also included are directions on how create a student version of the unit that is much like the teachers but missing the answer keys, quizzes, PowerPoint review games, hidden box challenges, owl, and surprises meant for the classroom. This is a great resource to distribute to your students and support professionals and will only take you a few minutes to create.
This is a great introductory unit that covers science topics associated with Lab Safety, Magnification, Base Units of the Metric System, Scientific Method, Inferences, and Observation Skills (See list below for more topics covered). This unit includes an interactive and engaging PowerPoint Presentation of 2000 slides with built in class notes (Red Slides), lab activities, project ideas, discussion questions, assessments (Quiz Wiz), and challenge questions with answers.
Text is in large print (32 font) and is placed at the top of each slide so it can seen and read from all angles of a classroom. A shade technique, as well as color coded text helps to increase student focus and allows teacher to control pace of the lessons. Also included is a 10 page assessment / bundled homework that chronologically follows the slideshow for nightly homework and end of the unit assessment, as well as a 9 page modified assessment. 14 pages of class notes with images are also included for students who require modifications, as well as answer keys to both of the assessments for support professionals, teachers, and home school parents. Several video links are provided and a slide within the slideshow cues teacher / parent when the videos are most relevant to play. Video shorts usually range from 2-7 minutes. One PowerPoint review game (125+ slides)is included. Answers to the PowerPoint review game are provided in PowerPoint form so students can self-assess. Lastly, several class games such as guess the hidden picture beneath the boxes, and the find the hidden owl somewhere within the slideshow are provided. Difficulty rating of 5 (Ten is most difficult)
Thank you for time and if you have any questions please feel free to contact me at www.sciencepowerpoint@gmail.com. Best wishes.
Teaching Duration = 4+ Weeks

–Score your own sheet
• (10 pts for correct response)
–Gather the entire classes scores to obtain
average / mean.
• Add all of the scores and divide by the number of
students.
– What was the average grade / mean (%)
• Do our results answer the problem?
363. • Continuation (Optional) Finding standard
deviation and variance.
– Standard variation is the square root on the
variance.
– Variance: The average of the squared
differences from the mean.
364. • Statistical Methods
– The mean / average was…
– Everyone calculate how far away their data was
from the mean / average.
• Ex.) The mean was 80 and I got 60 so I was 20 from
the mean.
– To calculate the variance, take each difference,
square it, and then average the result as a class.
• Ex) 22 + 4.52 + 1.52 + 3.52 + (rest of class)
Divide by total # of students = variance
365. • The Standard Deviation is just the square
root of the Variance.
– So square the variance that we found.
Example…
6523 = 80.76%
We now have a standard to show which scores
are high and low and to help answer our problem.
366. • The Standard Deviation is just the square
root of the Variance.

433. • Procedure:
– 1.) Squeeze glue into bowl.
– 2.) Fill glue bottle with water, cap, mix, and pour into the
glue in bowl.
– 3.) Stir and add desired food coloring.
– 4.) Set that bowl aside.
– 5.) In new bowl mix 1 cup of water with 1 tablespoon of
borax and stir.
– 6.) Add 1/3 a cup of borax and water mixture into a bowl
and stir.
– 7.) Slowly add the contents from the glue bowl into the
borax bowl while you stir.
– 8.) Pick up goop and work it with your hands. Put in
plastic bag and clean up area.
– 9.)Once area is clean you can play with goop.
434. • Goop is a polymer you can make from white
glue and borax.
– Borax is a cleaning agent and natural mineral
composed of sodium, boron, oxygen and water.
– The Elmer’s glue is a long-chained polymer (Poly
Vinyl Acetate), meaning it is a set of molecules
that are linked together in a long chain.
– When added together, the borate ions bond with
water molecules. These long polymers link
together to form a matrix that is not very strong.
– This why goop is stretchable and considered a
Non-Newtonian Fluid. High Viscosity.
