Movie Guide
for Bill Nye:
Life Cycles
Dear Teacher,
Thank you for purchasing my product on TpT. I have movie guides for all the Bill Nye Video Series in my store.
I have used these types of worksheets in my own classroom for many years. Students love watching Bill Nye
and I find a movie guide helps to increase focus and teaches students how to write down information and
listen at the same time.
The questions are in order as the students watch the movie. Sometimes answers (especially important
this: as an introduction to a topic, as a wrap-up to a topic, as a study guide, for a grade, or something for a
substitute to do while you are not in class. Typically I take these worksheets for a grade, pass them back to
the students for review, and then have the students glue them into their Interactive Notebooks.
I have included to copies of the student answer sheet because I shrink them down and fit 2 pages onto one
copy sheet to save copies. My printer has this setting so I can print out 2 sheets on one. Your copy machine
will also have this feature if you print out 2 copies in regular size before you go to the copy machine
