PowerPoint Fixed (Plain)

Each page of your material is set as a background image on a PowerPoint slide. This allows you to draw on the page as well as move objects onto the page. Great for Telepractice!

PowerPoint Fixed (w/Tokens)

Same as above, but with some of our most common token symbols. Keep the ones you want and delete the rest to make an interactive game for remote play.

This Bingo set is made for a 5th and 6th grade classroom as part of their science vocabulary. The Caller "reads" the definition and the kids need to figure out which definition fits which picture:

For our definitions:
Air mass: A huge body of air similar in temperature, humidity and air pressure at any given height.

Tropical: A type of air mass. it is warm and forms in the tropics and has low air pressure.

Polar: A type of air mass of cold air that forms north of the "50 degree north latitude" and has high air pressure.

Maritime: Air masses that form over oceans. The air becomes very humid since water evaporates from the oceans.

Continental: Air masses that form over land. They have LESS exposure to large amounts of moisture from bodies of water and are drier than maritime air masses.

Fronts: Air masses that are not the same in temperature and humidity so they "bump" or collide; they dont mix and where they don't mix is called a FRONT. Storms and changeable weather often develops along fronts.

Occluded fronts: A warm air mass is caught between two cooler air masses. The warm air is cut off or "occluded"from the ground. As the warm air cools, the water vapor condenses and may turn into clouds, rain, or snow.

Cyclone: A swirling circle of LOW air pressure. Labeled with an "L". Winds spiral inward, toward the center of the system, when cooler air blows toward this "low pressure" area. They are associated with clouds, wind and precipitation. They spin counter clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere.

Anticyclone: These are high pressure centers of dry air. Thye are called "highs" or H on a weather map. These cause dry, clear weather. They spin clockwise.
