Teaching Duration = 6+ Weeks
A 2500 slide PowerPoint becomes the roadmap for an amazing an interactive science experience.
The unit is to large to sample here or download here (This unit is 225MB and TpT only allows a 5MB sample and 50MB download limit) If you decide to purchase this unit, I will send you an email with a link to download the entire unit as soon as I am alerted of the purchase from TpT. I use a reliable company called PayLoadz.com with allows me to email very large files. Download time is roughly 30 minutes to an hour depending on your computer speed.
The Ecology: Abiotic Factors Unit includes a 984 slide PowerPoint presentation, assessment, and class notes that become the road map for an exciting and interactive unit full of lab activities, challenge questions, class notes, discussion questions, project ideas, assessments, modified assessment, PowerPoint review games, answer keys, video links, and much more.
Also included is 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.

The Ecology: Abiotic Factors Unit covers ecology topics associated with the seven abiotic factors: Light, Temperature, Water, Wind, and Fire. This unit also covers biogeochemical cycles (See list below for more topics covered).
Text for class notes 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 coding text increases student focus and allows teacher to control the pace of the lesson. Also included is a 10 page (Microsoft 2003 word doc.) assessment / bundled homework that chronologically follows the Unit PowerPoint for nightly homework and the end of the unit assessment, as well as a 8 page modified assessment. 18 pages of class notes (Word doc.) with images are also included for students who require modifications, as well as answer keys to both bundled homeworks / assessment for support professionals, teachers, and homeschool parents. 11 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. Two PowerPoint review games are included. Answers to the PowerPoint review games 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 6.5 (Ten is most difficult).
