For the past 18 months or so, we have learned to use Boom, Zoom, and all kinds of new ways to present lessons to our students. Chances are you have used PowerPoint in the past (and if not, stay right here, because by the end, you will want to!).
PowerPoint Presentations have been around for quite some time and there are good reasons for that! Teachers love PowerPoint because it is reliable and easy to share while still having enough bells and whistles to keep our technology-obsessed students enthusiastic.
I’ve been using PowerPoint for years and find the multi-modal design appeals to students with all different learning styles.
Ready to work smarter, not harder? I’ve done the work for you…I present to you the Elementary Science PowerPoints in Jewel’s School Gems Club!
However, I know that so many choices can be overwhelming, so I have put together this summary of existing Science PowerPoints to quickly find exactly what you need.

Can’t decide which ones you want? I can help you with that too!
As a teacher myself, I know funds are limited and we often have to purchase materials with money from our own pocket. I’ve decided to add 20 of my existing PowerPoint Activities (with a big possibility of more being added) into the Jewel’s School Gems Club. These PowerPoint presentations will be uploaded gradually as a part of my commitment to provide members with a new resource each week.
Try out the free Pumpkin Life Cycle PowerPoint to sample the quality of my work.
This resource can be used as a whole lesson, starting from unlocking vocabulary, discussing key understandings, and assessing students’ learning. Now, if you’re looking for even more material to extend your units, watch out for the corresponding flipbooks to many of these PowerPoints that will eventually be added to Jewel’s School Gems Club!
Regardless of whether you are looking for materials to teach, reinforce, support or review science concepts with your elementary students, I’m confident you will find what you need here.
Oh, I almost forgot to tell you! All these Science PowerPoints have been recently updated to include a link to a Google Slides Version. How awesome is that! In person or remote, you are prepared to teach with a moment’s notice.
Check out the available Science PowerPoints today!
