These slideshows are matched to the QCA scheme of work and can easily be combined to create larger slideshows if needed. All files are zipped PowerPoint 2003 files. They will work on older versions of PowerPoint, although some animation effects may be lost. If you do not have WINZIP installed then you can download it here You can still view these files even if you don't have PowerPoint. You can download the PowerPoint Viewer from here
