This document provides instructions for using a Jeopardy-style template for a classroom activity. It explains how to enter questions and answers by clicking on and replacing the existing text in each slide. It cautions the user to ensure the cursor displays a hand icon before clicking to navigate between slides. The template is then shown with sample questions and answers populated in various subject categories relating to human population, threats to biodiversity, and other environmental topics.

1. Instructions for using this template. Remember this is Jeopardy, so where I have written “Answer” this is the prompt the students will see, and where I have “Question” should be the student’s response. To enter your questions and answers, click once on the text on the slide, then highlight and just type over what’s there to replace it. If you hit Delete or Backspace, it sometimes makes the text box disappear. When clicking on the slide to move to the next appropriate slide, be sure you see the hand, not the arrow. (If you put your cursor over a text box, it will be an arrow and WILL NOT take you to the right location.)
