******************************

I've put together a walkthrough of how I teach each of my physics units inside my classroom (including Waves and Sound). If you're struggling to get started or just want to see what someone else does, my day-by-day physics teaching schedule can be found here.

Buyer Comments:

- "The waves and sound unit simplified my planning and made life easier when I was struggling to figure out how to start the last unit of my physics class."

- "Thanks for the time saving organization!"

- "Thanks. Answer keys are always time savers and appreciated

Big time saver for me"

- "Great Product :)"

- "Excellent addition to my notes! I love it!"

- "This was INCREDIBLY helpful in developing my unit on Waves. Saved me so much time! Thank you for providing the slideshows in an editable format so I could tweak for my class's needs."

Google, Office, and Distance Learning Ready

• These lessons include both Office and Google formats for ALL resources. The presentations are in PowerPoint and Google Slides while all documents contain Word and Google Doc versions.
• Your resources are perfect for distance learning and integrate 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

What are the student versions and how do they encourage student understanding?

The student versions of the presentations contain 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.
