This PowerPoint is one small part of the Geology Topics unit from www.sciencepowerpoint.com. This unit consists of a five part 6000+ slide PowerPoint roadmap, 14 page bundled homework package, modified homework, detailed answer keys, 12 pages of unit notes for students who may require assistance, follow along worksheets, and many review games. The homework and lesson notes chronologically follow the PowerPoint slideshow. The answer keys and unit notes are great for support professionals. The activities and discussion questions in the slideshow are meaningful. The PowerPoint includes built-in instructions, visuals, and review questions. Also included are critical class notes (color coded red), project ideas, video links, and review games. This unit also includes four PowerPoint review games (110+ slides each with Answers), 38+ video links, lab handouts, activity sheets, rubrics, materials list, templates, guides, 6 PowerPoint review Game, and much more. Also included is a 190 slide first day of school PowerPoint presentation.

3. • How to play…
– Don’t play like Jeo_ _ _ _ y.
– Class should be divided into several small groups.
– Groups should use science journal (red slide
notes), homework, and other available materials to
assist you.
– Groups can communicate quietly with each other
but no sharing answers between groups.
• Practice quietly communicating right now?
• Practice Communication Question:
• Your group gets to order one pizza, and you can have
two toppings. What does your group want?
4. Questions 1-20 = 5pts Each
Final Category (Bonus) = 1pt Each
Final Questions = 5 pt wager
If you wager 5 on the last question and get it wrong you lose
5 pts. Wager 5 and get it right you get 5 pts.
Find the Owl =
Secretly write “Owl” in the correct box
worth 1pt.
“I’ll be about
this big.”
