Use this interactive smartboard lesson to introduce your kiddos to the 3 branches of the U.S. Government: Legislative, Executive, and Judicial.
(Special Note: If you do not have smartnotebook, you can still use this file IF you download smartnotebook's FREE interactive viewer.
Click here )
Each page introduces the branch and requires some form of interaction from the students. Ex. Click to reveal tool, erase to reveal, etc
Students are taught the job of each branch and the members of each branch. They are taught the qualifications of the president, how a bill becomes a law, and how the branches are kept in check by checks and balances. This is a simple introduction made for my third grade class. It does NOT go into extreme detail required for the upper grade levels.

I used this with my 3rd graders and they really got the idea of the branches of the government. All quiz and written packet responses were dead on. Parents emailed me amazed at how their students knew how a bill became a law!

Oh no! Do you have a mac? The only thing I can think of is you don't have a program from the file. I can try to email it to you. What is your email address?

I am looking at purchasing items for my 3rd grade classroom: the Branches of the Government package for $2.00 and the Government Package for $5.50.
After looking at the details of both, it seems they do have different worksheet pages within them regarding the branches of the government. Could you please confirm. I want my resources to be as complete as possible. Could you please confirm if everything that is in the $2 package is in the $5.50 package or is it different and I need to order both.
Thanks so much! Your resources are fantastic!

The $2 one is JUST the smartnotebook file which is included in the Government Package. DON"T buy both!

Hi, I purchased the Three Branches of Government and this would not open correctly for me. We have Promethean boards and when this was imported from Smart Notebook it does not display correctly. Can you help me with this?
October 5, 2012
Teacher Chick (TpT Seller)
The only thing I can suggest is to download smartnotebook interactive viewer which is free from smart technologies. That allows anyone to view/use a smartnotebook file.

I bought this but I dont have the proper software to open it and I thought I might. Can I please have it in another form? Such as powerpoint or a pdf? Thank you.
September 28, 2012

Before I buy this is there anyway I can get this in powerpoint form instead of the smartboard? Thanks!
September 26, 2012
Teacher Chick (TpT Seller)
It has interactive elements which would basically be a waste for you to view as a powerpoint. You can download smartnotebook interactive viewer for free and it will allow you to manipulate the interactive elements on your computer which will show up on your projector. I hope that makes sense!
