Chemistry is about fundamentals: And assemble a
matter and change scientific language
You’ll need to recognize
different concepts

Other scientists can:
Present unique insights
Provide instruction in new topics
Evaluate your work
Offer expertise in unfamiliar fields

Editor's Notes
Create a title slide – this isn’t part of your 3x3 but will identify your slide amongst the others created for the class. NOTE: Use the notes field as the place to include notes, resources, talking points that will guide your extemporaneous presentation that these slides supplement. Tips for typeface, et cetera: SansSerif typeface – for example here Arial rather than Palatino and Futura rather than Times Headlines – 40 to 85 point; in other words, big; summarize key idea on slide Body Text – 20 – 30 point is best; six words per bullet point as a max; six lines as a max; convey ideas Also, the notes field is a good place to cite, provide an attribution for any image – graphic, illustration, figure, drawing, smart art, or photo – that someone else has created and you use in the slide deck. The minimum practice would be to include either: + url for the page on which you found the photo, or + name of photographer plus the URL.
Here’s what one source says about individual slides (http://www.colorado.edu/mcdb/MCDB3140/powerpoint.html) Computer presentations should not contain full paragraphs of text. Use a bulleted list or outline format and elaborate on the points in your talk. Use contrasting colors - either a dark background with light text or a light background with dark text. Avoid busy backgrounds that will make the text hard to read. Keep the background simple. AVOID ALL CAPS! All caps look like you're shouting. Include a good combination of words, pictures, and graphics. Variety keeps the presentation interesting.
Select images and words that let you convey a core idea. What you don’t want to be doing: Reading from the slide– let set stage for your extemporaneous presentation of ideas Talking to the screen rather than making use of eye contact and gestures to interact with the audience. Rush through a number of slides to make one central point – dwell on one slide or animate a few slides in order to present multiple points
Use animations only if they help in making a point. Free, fair use images can be found via Flickr - http://www.flickr.com/creativecommons/ On that page, the 3 starting places for "free fair" use are these: Attribution, Non-Commercial: http://www.flickr.com/creativecommons/by-nc-2.0/ Attribution, Non-Comm, ShareAlike: http://www.flickr.com/creativecommons/by-nc-sa-2.0/ Attribution, ShareAlike: http://www.flickr.com/creativecommons/by-sa-2.0 Here are a few quick “how tos” for downloading photo you find in the fair use/share sections to your computer (both from Flickr help): 1. Select the photo and open the actions menu, then click the '"View all Sizes" link inside the menu. On the next page, choose the size you want to download and click the link in the "Download" section.

With Flickr you can only download one at a time. 2. Once on a page with the single image you want to use, click or right click on the photo. Near the top of a new page you’ll see a list of images sizes, click on the required size. Then, just above the photo, click the link to Download the whatever size you’ve selected” of this photo 3. Or Click 'Actions' above the photo and select 'All Sizes'.
