Introduce your class to this remarkable British palaeontologist with this 19-slide PowerPoint detailing her life with facts and images. It outlines her major discoveries including ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, winged reptiles, and fossil poop! The presentation ends with some discussion questions.

You could also use it for a history lesson, or biography project. Is the presentation editable? Yes, partially. All titles and images are secured and not editable, but you can amend the body of the text should you need to adapt anything for your pupils.
