Oral Presentation Structure | Learn Science at Scitable To be able to give their full attention to content, audience members need structure — in other words, they need a map of some sort (a table of contents, an object of the document, a preview), and they need to know at any time where they are on that map. A written document includes many visual clues to its structure: section headings, blank lines or indentations indicating paragraphs, and so on. In contrast, an oral presentation has few visual clues. Therefore, even when it is well structured, attendees may easily get lost because they do not see this structure. As a speaker, make sure you reveal your presentation's structure to the audience, with a preview, transitions, and a review. The preview provides the audience with a map. Transitions are crucial elements for revealing a presentation's structure, yet they are often underestimated. Similarly, a review of the body plays an important double role.
Web Video for the Classroom by Dean Baird The lessons below were designed to work as quick drop-ins in a high school physics class. I'm sure they could work in other science courses, too. These are not the "meat and potatoes" of the course, but they serve as engaging enrichments. To conserve space, I posted "video thumbnails" here. I also hope to add more lessons as more material materializes. NOVA scienceNOW Can Wind Turbines Make You Sick? Residents living in the shadows of wind turbines say the sound is making them sick.
