Flip Cards Grade 9 Geography – Exam Review
One option to practice recall for a test or exam is Flip Cards. Cards may be effective as a study tool when a number of facts or definitions must be memorized.
The following information is a set of Power Point electronic Flip Cards for the Grade 9 Geography course. To “run” the cards, use the dropdown “Slide Show” menu and, if appropriate, click “View Show.” Each definition has a blue background. It is followed by the corresponding answer on a green background. To go to the next screen, you simply push return. The “End Show” button at the bottom of the screen stops the program. Another option is to simply scroll through the cards.
If Flip Cards work for you (i.e., you learn the definitions via this tool), you may wish to make your own cards for the other science units.
Have fun…engage and learn.
