Science Starters. What are science starters? With the addition of a SmartBoard to my classroom three years ago, I started developing Science Starters presentations to use as class starters or warm-ups and have set up this page to share those with all of you. The starters are provided as PowerPoint 2003 files so they can be used with any interactive software (SmartBoard or Mimio) or just a projector. The starters typically take 5 minutes or less to complete and provide students with a focused activity to start class. I also like to use the starters to review material we have covered in class. It helps me gauge what they have remembered from previous lessons or lets me know that additional lessons are needed. Feel free to use the starters as they are provided or adapt them to fit your units of study. I provide students with a Science Starters answer sheet (quarter format) that has room for nine weeks worth of answers.
