Earth Science PowerPoints - Google Slides 6th Grade Science & Space 5th Grade

These Earth Science PowerPoint resources are quite the virtual experience! They can be used as powerful classroom presentations, or students can click their way through them on individual computers.

Contains the following units - Rock Cycle, Space and Solar System, Oceans, Plate Tectonics, Rocks, Minerals & Gems, Ecosystems, Biomes, Volcanoes, Earth Cycles, Photosynthesis, Energy, Weather and Climate.

This resource is part of the Earth and Space Science (Entire) Curriculum.

***Watch this quick preview video to see these Interactive PowerPoints in action! (This is a fast motion screen capture of the resource).

This resource is aligned with Earth Science Interactive Notebook Bundle I would highly recommend using this resource along with the PowerPoints but it is optional. The PowerPoints are a stand-alone resource.
