My Promise to You

I know every classroom is different. If you purchase a resource and feel it is not the right fit for your students, contact me and I’ll provide 2x the amount you paid in store credit toward another resource in my store, so you can find something that better supports your students.

Buyer Comments:

- "Great lessons for balancing equations!!"

- A quick way to make sure that I was prepared to teach the lessons I needed to keep my students on track. The notes aligned well with the PowerPoint and there was also a student version of the PowerPoint.

Included in the lesson package is:

• Google and Office versions of each resource
• The teacher version of the presentation
• The student version of the presentation
• One embedded video
• THREE student worksheet
• Student lesson handout

--------------------------------------------

• 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.

--------------------------------------------

The student version of the presentation 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.

This lesson can also be found within my Chemistry Unit which also includes the following lessons:

• Lesson 1 - Physical/Chemical Properties and Changes
• Lesson 2 - Periodic Table and Bohr Rutherford Diagrams
• Lesson 3 - Lewis Structures
