THE HYDROFE Unit covers science topics
associated with water and it's properties.  This unit
includes an interactive and engaging Powerpoint
Presentation of 420 slides with built in class notes (Red
Slides), lab activities, project ideas, discussion
questions, assessments (Quiz Wiz), and challenge
questions with answers.  Text is in large print (32 font)
and is placed at the top of each slide so it can seen
and read from all angles of a classroom.  Also included
is a 9 page assessment (THE HYDROFE) that
chronologically goes with the slideshow for nightly
homework and the end of the unit assessment, as well
as a 7 page modified assessment.  9 pages of class
notes with images are also included for students who
require modifications, as well as answer keys to both
HYDROFE’s for support professionals, teachers, and
homeschool parents. 9 video shorts (FLV files) are
provided and a slide within the slideshow cues teacher /
parent when the videos are most relevant to play. Video
shorts usually range from 2-7 minutes and are included
in organized folders.  One Powerpoint Jeopardy game
is included.  Answers to the Powerpoint Jeopardy game
is provided in Powerpoint form so students can self-
assess.  Lastly, several class games such as guess the
hidden picture beneath the boxes, and the find the
hidden owl somewhere within the slideshow are
provided.

Here, students put their notes to work and then are
given the correct response after learning about
tributaries on THE RIVEROFE.  The slideshows are
filled with challenging questions like this.
Here students learn about capillary action and
chromatography by putting a black dot on a coffee filter and
dipping it in water.  The black dot is separated into a variety
of colors as the water molecules climb up the paper and the
black ink is separated into a variety of colors.
On day one of THE HYDROFE, student's conduct
an investigation called "Swirly Milk".  Food coloring,
milk, and laundry detergent are all that are needed.
They will later learn about the properties of water
and activity will become more meaningful.
Typical red slide (Notes) from THE HYDROFE.  Shade
technique hides rest of notes so students cannot rush
ahead.  Teacher can determine the pace of the class.
Next click will unveil the notes beneath.
Typical note taking slide.  The red background and
size 32 white font make note taking easy on the eye.   
Note- Quality of image on actual Powerpoint is much
better.  Distracting transition effects are never used.
Here students have just learned terms associated with
parts of a river and are taking a Quiz Wiz to test their
skills.  A typical Quiz Wiz is 10 questions.  The answers
are provided after the quiz so students can how they did.
Here students work together in small groups to guess
which arrow is pointing to an Old-Channel.  The
answer will be provided on the next slide.
Here, students create a line graph over time of ground
water depletion in their science journal (Composition
Book).  The next slide will reveal what the line graph
should look like.  A series of questions and answers will
follow.
