This colorful and detailed PowerPoint and bundle explains the difference between faulting and folding, discusses the parts and types of faults, and looks at how faulting, folding and volcanic activity can build mountains. A second PowerPoint also includes a Texas version which discusses the Balcones Fault Line in Central Texas. You will get both PowerPoints for the price of one. Use the PowerPoint that best fits your situation. Stress within the earth comes in three forms: compression, ten

This colorful and detailed PowerPoint and bundle covers the composition of soil, formation of soil, soil horizons, soil pH, reading a soil triangle, and plant macronutrients. Soil is a mixture of rock and mineral, organic matter, and living things. The rock and mineral sediments are sand, silt and clay. The amount of each component determines the type of soil. Soil type is determined using a soil triangle. This bundle's PPT includes how to use a soil triangle and the bundle has a practice w

Freshwater The Freshwater PowerPoint and bundle covers both standing (lentic) and flowing (lotic) waters and water pollution. In the standing or lake portion, types of lakes and pond succession is discussed. The three types of lakes included are oligotrophic, mesotrophic and eutrophic. Also covered are wetlands, including marshes and swamps. The flowing or river portion covers the different river zones. The zones discussed are the source zone, transition zone, and floodplain zone. Wat

This colorful and detailed PowerPoint explains how fossils are formed, the six major types of fossilization: cast, mold, imprint, petrification, preservation of entire organism and trace fossils. Also covered in this PowerPoint is fossil correlation with the introduction of the Principle of Fossil Succession and index fossils and how they are used in correlation. Included in the Fossil Bundle: • PPT: Fossils • PPT Notes Handout: Fossils • Quiz: Fossils • Quiz KEY: Fossils • Quiz Retake: Fo

This colorful and detailed PowerPoint and bundle covers the types of glaciers, parts of a glacier, and features created by weathering, erosion and depositions as the glacier moves. A glacier is a thick ice mass that forms over hundreds or thousands of years. First, the types of glaciers and different parts of the glacier. Glacial types include valley glacier, piedmont glacier, ice sheet and ice cap. Parts of a glacier include zone of accumulation and zone of ablation. Next, the process in a

This MEGA bundle includes the Earth’s Interior Super Bundle, the Faulting, Folding and Mountain Building Super Bundle, the Earthquakes and Volcanoes Super Bundle and a Test Super Bundle. Earth's Interior Super Bundle: This colorful and detailed PowerPoint and bundle explains the difference between the compositional layers of the earth (crust, mantle, outer and inner core) and structural layers (lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere, inner core and outer core). The PowerPoint also previews ear

This colorful and detailed PowerPoint and bundle covers mechanical and chemical weathering, erosion and deposition. This PPT includes descriptions and photos examples of each. Mechanical weathering covers abrasion, ice wedging, organic activity (including root wedging), uploading (including exfoliation) and gravitational impact (including rockslide, mudflow and creep). Chemical weathering covers oxidation, hydrolysis, dissolution (carbonic acid and sulfuric acid), hydration and plant acids.

Minerals This colorful and detailed PowerPoint and bundle covers the characteristics of minerals and the properties used for the identification of minerals. Characteristics of minerals include naturally occurring, inorganic, solid, crystal shape and pure substance. Properties used for testing include color, luster, hardness, streak, density, breakage, crystal shape and special properties. Properties used for testing minerals also includes video links that help to demonstrate how each identi

This colorful and detailed PowerPoint of the solar system includes the formation of the solar system, rotation/revolution, inner (terrestrial) planets, asteroid belt, outer (gas giant) planets, Kuiper Belt, Pluto, Oort Cloud, meteoroids and comets. In this very in depth PPT, students can also explore space explorations with links to past, present and future missions. Included in the Solar System Super Bundle: • PowerPoint: Solar System • PowerPoint Notes Handout: Solar System • Quiz: Inner

This MEGA Bundle includes 3 incredible PowerPoints and Bundles: Rocks and the Rock Cycle, Igneous Rock Intrusions, and Renewable and Nonrenewable Resources. Rocks and the Rock Cycle: This colorful and detailed PowerPoint begins with a discussion of the rock cycle. It takes students step-by-step through the rock cycle’s multiple paths. The PowerPoint then goes through each of the rock types: igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic in great detail. It gives pictured examples each rock type. Ig

These colorful and detailed PowerPoints explain Wegener’s Continental Drift, Sea-floor Spreading and Plate Tectonics. The Continental Drift PPT includes and explains how Wegener came to this conclusion by discussing how the continents fit together as puzzle pieces, the fossil evidence, mountain range evidence and rock/mineral evidence. Included video links also show the past and future movement of the continents. This PowerPoint is the first of three leading up to the Theory of Plate Tectonics.

This exciting and detailed PowerPoint begins with defining a sedimentary rock and how it is formed. It goes on to look at features in sedimentary rocks, such as strata and fossils. Finally, it classifies the three types of sedimentary rocks: clastic, organic and chemical with colorful pictures. INCLUDED: • PowerPoint: Sedimentary Rocks NOT INCLUDED, but also available for purchase: • PPT: Rocks (includes all three rock types) • PPT Notes Handout: Rocks (includes all three rock types) • R

Included in this MEGA Bundle is the Plate Tectonic Super Bundle, Geologic Principles Super Bundle, Fossil Super Bundle, Geologic Time Super Bundle and the Test Super Bundle. Plate Tectonic Super Bundle: This colorful and detailed PowerPoint explains Wegener’s Continental Drift. It includes and explains how Wegener came to this conclusion by discussing how the continents fit together as puzzle pieces, the fossil evidence, mountain range evidence and rock/mineral evidence. Included video links

Space Travel These two exciting PowerPoints and included bundle discuss both space travel – past, present and future and The Apollo Program. The first PPT looks at space travel in general and the second specifically discusses the Apollo program. Early space travel includes Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Space Lab and the Space Shuttle. Present discusses how we are moving out of the space shuttle time and into the International Space Station. Finally, the new expedition, Orion, is explored.

This colorful and detailed PowerPoint and bundle explains the cause of earthquakes, the difference between magnitude (Richter Scale) and intensity (Mercalli Scale), how to triangulate an earthquake and the hazards associated with earthquakes. Earthquakes are caused when a break in the Earth's surface builds pressure over time and then is suddenly released. The point of the actual movement below the surface is called the focus and the point directly above on the Earth's surface is called the ep

This colorful and detailed PowerPoint explains how fossils are formed, the six major types of fossilization: cast, mold, imprint, petrification, preservation of entire organism and trace fossils.

This activity is a perfect addition after teaching Continental Drift. Not only does it review Continental Drift but it reinforces mapping skills. This activity has three portions. The first has students piece together a puzzle that is missing a piece and then make predictions about that missing piece. Part two has students construct a Present Day map of Earth. With this, students review scale in order to draw longitude and latitude lines for the continental pieces. Finally, using the scale
