12. Adding a new slide Ctrl-M to add a new slide Slide layout – default is probably correct Add the title to the first slide Question Click to add text to the text box The question you ask must have a concrete answer that can be found by conducting an experiment Save as... (Multimedia 01) in your Multimedia folder

13. Next four slides Make them look like the following:

14. Hypothesis A testable explanation that answers your question

15. Prediction If your hypothesis is true, what will happen when you perform your experiment?

16. Testing List the materials you use and the steps for the experiment. Show the data you collect.

17. Results What happened when you performed your experiment?

18. Working with fonts In the title slide, triple-click the main title Format the font to size 36 of a font you like Change the font color to red

19. Adding and animating graphics To add a graphic to the title slide Insert > Picture > Clip Art Search for Microscope Click to insert on your title slide Resize and place the graphic to the right of your subtitle text Keep the graphic selected

22. Animating the text Choose Custom Animation 2003 & before: Task pane (on the right) 2007 Animations tab Choose an effect that you like Click Preview to try it out Save

23. Text to add Do the same as you just did, only adding the following text: Slide 3: I know that salt is used to melt ice and I think that sand is used for the same reason. Slide 4: If my hypothesis is true, an ice cube with sand on it will melt faster than a bare ice cube

24. More text to add Slide 5: Materials: ice cubes, sand, watch Steps: I sprinkled sand on one ice cube and left the other bare. I timed how long it took for each cube to melt Data: Each ice cube took one hour to melt. Slide 6: My hypothesis was wrong, because the sanded ice didn’t melt faster. They must use sand for a different reason. Save
