This sixteen-slide Powerpoint presentation introduces students to four famous (ex: drama)and nine not-so-famous (ex: chewing gum) inventions of the ancient Greeks. Written and created with a middle school audience in mind, it includes a homework activity for students on the final slide.
It will be very useful. I will use it as an introductory science lesson on Ancient Greek inventions. I did have to make it a little more aesthetically interesting for my class, but the content was great. Saved me a lot of time and hassle.

While I am not big on Powerpoint "bells and whistles," which anyone can add later, the content is I believe, excellent. I appreciate your support.

Help
I have been primarily a middle school teacher for 27 years and have loved every minute of it. For me, "content is king." I believe the plans, printables, and worksheets I have created have above all else high-quality content, but are also practical and ready-to-use. Each item I sell has been used in my and colleagues' classrooms (teacher-tested) and is clearly written. I won't put any lesson or idea on TeachersPayTeachers unless I am certain YOU can understand it, teach with it today, and that it has value for children. And I can't be certain of that unless I have used it in my classroom. In the end, however, the best plans in the world won't make any impact unless delivered by a caring, committed, and enthusiastic teacher. Enthusiasm is the most under-rated aspect of a teacher's job. If your fire is out, they won't learn and will misbehave. If you are on fire, they will learn and they will behave for you. We do the most important job on Earth, and if we cannot put our hearts in it then we shouldn't stay in the classroom anymore. That's my two cents...
