• This lesson includes both Office and Google formats for ALL resources. The presentation is in PowerPoint and Google Slides while all documents contain Word and Google Doc versions.
• Your resource is perfect for distance learning and integrates seamlessly with Google Classroom as I've included a link that will automatically create a copy of the resources and put them directly into your Google Drive with one click.
• Purchase --> Open --> Click --> Assign to your students

Having both options allows you to use either without worrying about formatting issues as all the work has already been done for you. It safeguards you in case your department or school decides to go Google 100% and allows you as well as your students to access everything no matter where you are or what kind of equipment is being used.

Buyer Comments:

- "Awesome resource! I love the videos that are embedded in the PowerPoint."

- "I love this lesson! As a first year Biology teacher, I try to find other ways to teach beside using the textbook."

"Excellent information. Great for the students to get a better understanding of the history behind that atom."

- "This Atomic Theory PowerPoint lesson is a great way for the kids to get the information needed, plus more than would be offered in the book!"

- I liked how this went through the timeline of the theories and kept it at grade level. My students also really enjoyed the video links that gave the brief demos of the actual experiments, it really helped them visualize the concepts."

Included in the lesson package is:

- Google and Office versions of the resource

- Teacher version of the presentation

- Student version of the presentation

- An auto-graded Exit Ticket

More Buyer Comments:

- "As a Special Education teacher, finding lessons that intrigued the kids can be difficult. The videos and provided fill-in sheets (PowerPoint and Word) are a great tool for them to gather the information without drilling information and answering boring textbook questions. I'm excited to use this lesson, as the kids have loved the PowerPoint lessons in the past from Fergy! I would highly recommend any material Fergy produces!!"

- "This is great. Saved me a lot of time"

- "Clear concise and easy for the students to understand"

- "There are good video links throughout!"

The student version of the power point contains multiple blanks that need to be filled in throughout the lesson. These blanks are conveniently underlined and bolded on the teacher copy. I have found this to be the most effective means of keeping my students engaged and active without having them write everything out. This also leaves more time for discussion and activities.
