To The Point Powerpoints and Lessons

This power point can be used in middle school earth science to study the layers of Earth's atmosphere. Topics include the definition and pictures of the atmosphere, the characteristics of the atmosphere, the composition of the atmosphere, how the atmosphere absorbs the sun's radiation, troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, the ozone layer, the greenhouse effect, how humans affect the atmosphere and review questions.

Power Point includes mid ocean ridges, sea flooring spreading, convection currents, plate tectonics, and the types of plate boundaries including divergent boundaries, convergent boundaries, and transform boundaries.

Used in 8th grade class for teaching the difference between molecules and compounds. Includes how all compounds are molecules but not all molecules are compounds. Examples are included. This power point does not include molecular bonding such as ionic or covalent. It only describes how molecules from compounds and atoms form molecules.

This power point teaches electricity including electric circuits, parallel and series circuits and electric symbols. Goes hand in hand with my electricity student notes where students can fill in answers as they view the power point.

This power point can be used in middle or elementary school to teach the phases of the moon in an astronomy unit. Power point presents the phases in order beginning with new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, waning crescent. Power point then mixes up the phases so students can name the various phases as a review game.

This power point can be used in a unit on oceans in 6th grade earth science. This power point focuses on ocean currents and includes surface currents, deep currents, upwelling, downwelling, and how ocean currents effect climate. Look for guided notes sheet for students.

This power point can be used in a unit on soil in 6th grade earth science. The power point includes topics such as the composition of soil, humus, the factors that form soil, the soil horizon, how living organisms effect the soil and the properties of soil.

This power point can be used with elementary and middle grades students in earth science or when studying about the weather. Topics include air masses, maritime tropical, maritime polar, continental tropical, continental polar, cold fronts, warm fronts, and stationary fronts.

This power point lesson was used to teach the concept of air pressure to 6th graders. It includes essential questions, graphics, and a short video about air pressure. Topics include what creates air pressure, how air moves, high and low pressures, and the measurement of air pressure using a barometer.

This power point was used by Sherri Gerrin in a 6th grade earth science class as part of a unit on plate tectonics. This power point reviews the main concepts of earthquakes and volcanoes. I used this as a review game on earthquakes and volcanoes. Topics covered in the review include faults, including reverse, strike slip, and normal faults, seismic waves, the ring of fire, focus, epicenter, s waves, p waves, surface waves, seismograph, richter scale, aftershocks, liquefaction, tsunamis, volc

This power point was used to teach students about the characteristics and types of igneous rocks. Included topics are how igneous rocks are formed, extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks, crystal size and formation, pictures and examples or igneous rocks.

This power point covers visible light and includes topics such as: why visible light is important to life, incandescence, luminescence, bioluminescence, transmission, absorption, transparent, translucent, opaque, scattering, polarization, color, primary colors and primary pigments. See Visible Light Slotted Notes that go with power point in store.

Power Point covering the states of matter and thermal energy. Use with guided notes available in store.. Topics include the states of matter, the characteristics and particle movement of each state. Thermal energy and the effects on particle movement included. The effects of heat on particles of matter are included. Great for distance learning.

This game can be used as a review game after studying sedimentary rocks. Students collected points during the game and won skittles according to their points. This game includes key points about how sedimentary rocks are formed and shows pictures of sedimentary rocks.

Guided notes to be used with States of Matter and Thermal Energy power point available in store. Can be used as an internet research sheet. Topics include the states of matter, the characteristics and particle movement of each state. Thermal energy and the effects on particle movement included. The effects of heat on particles of matter are included. Great for distance learning. Answer key included.

This power point was used to teach the theory of plate tectonics including sea floor spreading, continental drift, divergent boundaries, convergent boundaries, and transform boundaries. Convection currents and mid ocean ridges are also taught.

Use this power point game to review earth science concepts such as the types of rocks, the rock cycle, plate tectonics, earthquakes and volcanoes, water and the water cycle. Students earn a skittle for each question they get correct. Quiz game has 25 review question.

This powerpoint teaches light and optics including regular reflection, diffuse reflection, concave and convex, mirrors, lenses, and prisms. Also included are optic tools, such as, cameras, lasers, telescopes, microscopes, and fiber optics.

Handout that follows along with my electricity power point. Students can fill in the blanks as you teach through the power point. Goes hand in hand with electricity teacher notes.

Power point on atoms and atomic structure including protons, neutrons, electrons, atomic mass, atomic number, and general information about atoms. Guided notes for this power point with answer key are available in my store. Remember this are to the point power points that relatively short and quick. Great for distance learning.
