  3. Cool activity. Thanks for making it into a downloadable PPT. I always want to use these types of things in class, but the time that it takes to make them often outweighs the time I use them, so using something someone else already made takes care of that problem. Thanks!

    1. Thanks Tim. Once it's made it can be adapted and used and reused so it's always worth it I think.

      If any of the gif images don't display try refreshing the page.
