Students in the 7th grade will be creating an animated sequence using Microsoft Powerpoint.  This will help you to navigate the tools and abilities of Powerpoint.  You will learn how to create new slides, have slides automatically go to the next slide, insert clip art, create and insert sound, use the shape tool, and more.

Animated sequence

TP –  Students will show the steps of the scientific method by creating a slideshow

Your next assignment will incorporate both science and technology skills.  Your task will be to create a power point based on the gravity activity we performed in class.  You will need to create one or more slides for each of the steps of the scientific method.  I have posed the “Problem”.  You will be responsible for filling in all the other steps.  Please use my template as a reference.  Always remember to ask for assistance if needed.
