Let’s be real: if your presentations are stuck in the “sit and get” era, your students probably are too. I’ve been there—years of trying to keep students entertained while battling boredom and burnout. That’s why I created this line of Google Slides lessons and this Intro to the Brain resource—to save time, boost engagement, and make whole-group instruction feel fresh again.
These slides aren’t just pretty—they’re purposeful. Built-in checkpoints ask students to predict, reflect, connect, and think critically throughout the lesson. Whether you’re using Nearpod, PearDeck, or just assigning the presentation directly to students, this resource helps you keep everyone involved and accountable.
Designed with flexibility in mind, these lessons work seamlessly for in-person, hybrid, or virtual teaching. They’re perfect for introducing new content, reteaching tricky topics, or supporting students who are catching up from home.
This resource is ideal for classroom teachers, tutors, and parents working with students in grades 6–9. It offers thorough coverage of key concepts and includes built-in opportunities for student responses—perfect for whole-class instruction, small groups, or independent practice at home.
After purchase, you’ll download a PDF file. On page 2, you’ll find a direct link to the Google Slides presentation.
You’ll find links to the student notes sheets, both PDF and editable versions, on Slide 2 of the presentation.
