LECTURE POWERPOINT
Versions of Biological Classification PPT:
- Student's Biological Classification PowerPoint Show
- Student's Biological Classification PPT PDF Printout
Printing: The best way for students to print out the PowerPoint Show is to download the PDF version. Select Print, and, when the Print screen comes up, go to the Print Handling options. Under Page Scaling, select "Multiple pages per sheet", Under Pages per sheet, select "2". That uses up less paper, placing two slides on each page.
