How did you create your banner on your website? I also have a store and would like to have a banner as your wonderful site does. Can you offer tips on how to create it? Many thanks for your wonderful products and your help. :)

Hey Teaching Treasures, I think there are banner making programs or websites that I looked into initially, but I had trouble using them, so I just decided to do it this way:

The Steps:

1) Find out the size of the banner allowed on TPT.
2) Create one to the correct size on PowerPoint.
3) Do a screen capture of the banner. There's a capture program that I love called !Quick Capture which you can download for free from this site: http://www.etrusoft.com/ . When you open the !QuickCapture Program a) Click "Capture" b) Click "Rectangle". c) Outline the banner you want to capture d) save it to your computer.
4) Upload the saved banner on the TPT banner upload page.

Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Anh-Thi (a.k.a. Tangstar Science)


then I did a screen capture of the banner (TPT will tell you what size you can upload) and cropped it to the exact border of m

The Water Cycle PowerPoint was a free product. The PowerPoint Worksheets are not. Unless you purchased the worksheet, it is not available for you to download for free. If you would like to buy the worksheet please go to this link.

Thanks for the reply, I just tried it but under type of file I didn't see the video option, I'll try again later at home. Being a fellow newbie blogger I would appreciate it if you could have a look at my site and let me know what you think. I'd like to know if I'm on the right track or not before continuing on.

I just tried to extract the zip file with all 10 episodes and I was successful.

However, in case there's something wrong the upload, I will upload the file again. My internet connection is a little slow, I will start now and hopefully it will be complete in less than 20 minutes.

Let me know if you got it to work.

I've started a sharing community in hopes of connecting teachers with similar qualifications to hopefully increase feedback on our products. I noticed you teach high school science so I thought you might be interested since I know how hard it is to meet other secondary teachers. Please check out my site below for more information and let me know what you think.

As well I am a high school science teacher with full units uploaded in Power Point form as well as activities and culminating tasks. If you are interested my TPT site is:

I checked all my hyperlinks (Magic school bus, drought, flood, polar bear videos etc.). They all work.

Just in case you're having problems with how to link to the videos, this is what you have to do:
1) You must play the power point in Slide Show Mode.
2) When the video reel icon appears you hover your cursor over the icon and the arrow of the cursor will turn into a pointing finger. When this happens, single left click onto the icon, and this should cause a YouTube page to pop up. This page will contain the video.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

I have many lessons for speed and motion, however, none of them are TPT ready yet. I am currently working on getting my chemistry, astronomy and ecology resources up on TPT. Physics will probably end up being last. Thanks for inquiring. I hope that you find something now that suits your needs on the rest of the site.

Thanks for letting me know about this. I have reuploaded the zip file. Now it includes the power point, worksheet and the answer key. Sorry for any inconvenience.

I know that you said you purchased it for the power point, but once you take a look at how well the worksheets go with the power point, I hope that you will find them a great and invaluable asset.

Hi there,

I downloaded your Intro to Ecosystems and when I view the powerpoint I have no control over the speed. I believe I should be able to click for the captions/info to pop up, but this file just goes super fast and I cannot control the speed. Can you help me with this?

Tangstar Science  (TpT Seller)
I can help with this. If you open the power point file and go to the "Slide Show" tab, you will see that the "Use Timings" box is checked off. Uncheck that and the power point should be under your own control. Let me know if you need more help with this.

I have had 4 other buyers purchase this item before without any indication that it wasn´t downloading. This makes me suspect that the site might be off somehow. I urge you to try again tomorrow. If it still doesn´t work, then please give me your email, I will try to email it to you tomorrow. However, since it is large file and I am currently travelling in Ecuador, I might not be able to succeed in this transfer until I find a place that is able to transfer the file quickly enough. So far the internet places I´ve been to have been very slow. If I succeed in reuploading the file (also depends on internet speed) I will inform you that you can try to reupload it from the TPT site again. Hope this helps.

That's strange, no one has mentioned it before and it has sold quite a few times. I will review and reupload my bundle afresh later on this evening and you can download the entire bundle again (it should be free to download as many times as you like after you've made the initial purchase) with the added page.

Either that or you can give me your email and I will mail the page to you.

Hope this helps.

Where do you get all your great science clip art & pictures?
August 19, 2012 Report inappropriate comment
Tangstar Science
Tangstar Science  (TpT Seller)
Some just from MS office and powerpoint's clipart data base (don't underestimate how much they have). Some from the science photo library website and the rest just searching online or I've even drawn some and scanned them in myself, or have used the MS word or powerpoint to make images using their drawing tools.

What I do after that is I usually do some editing in adobe photoshop so that I only get the part of the diagram I want. For example, I almost never show diagrams that are prelabelled. If I find a perfect diagram, but it has labels on it, then I'll spend a lot of time photoediting it until the labels are gone. I also like to remove the backgrounds from my images to make them transparent and that I also takes some work with photoshop. I would say that over 50% of the time I spend on any given powerpoint is spent on finding, selecting, and photoediting images.

Unfortunately there hasn't been one go to place for EXACTLY what I need. I just have to spend lots of effort making what I need. Luckily for me, I like photoediting and making materials.




I think it's key to get good clear visuals for exactly what you want so I would say that

rothjr3 re: Classifying Matter - LESSON BUNDLE
I teach fifth grade science. We classify matter, study atoms, molecules, elements, compounds, mixtures, mass, weight, law of conservation of mass, physical/chemical changes, physical/chemical properties. Can you help bundle something that will help me teach this? It's hard for me to understand it myself. Thanks

Tangstar Science  (TpT Seller)
I teach grade 9 science, and the bundle on classifying matter I put up only deals with that. I do not currently have up any bundles that include conservation of mass, physical or chemical change. However, I do have a bundle (or individual items not bundled) on physical and chemical properties. I will probably have some other things up during the summer, but they will focus mostly on the Gr.11 and Gr.12 Biology curriculum.

I am assuming you are new to teaching these topics or new to teaching itself. So I wish you luck in understanding and teaching this stuff.

That's odd, I've had over a dozen buyers and no one has messaged me about any problems with the zip file, and I haven't reposted it since I created the original zip file. For the power point I used Power Point 2010, but saved it in 1997-2003 format which is a .ppt document. Buy the way, the power point itself is a freebie, so you can download that from my store directed. The zip file includes the power point and all the other associated files which I made using Word 2003. I ask that you try to redownload and try to unzip again using a different computer. Please let me know if it works out. If this doesn't work, I'll make sure that I get your product to you in another way.

By the way, I use a P.C. and not a Mac. I'm not sure if that makes a difference.

Take care,
