Science Project: How can we improve the ZERO WATER slide show?

Part of the course of Science at SunEd High is "PRESENTING INFORMATION."
We ask students to make posters and slide shows (powerpoints) to explain what they have learned.   How will you use the information that you learned?
What else do you want to learn?

PROJECT:  Improve the slide show about Zero Water Filter 

Here's are four slides from the Zero Water Filter company's "media kit."

Here's what some websites advise us about "How to make a bad powerpoint presentation"

The interesting list comes from SETH GODIN.   LINK

So What’s On Your Slides? 
Here are the five rules you need to remember to create amazing PowerPoint presentations: 
1. No more than six words on a slide. EVER. 
2. No cheesy images. Use professional images from corbis.com instead. They cost $3 each, or a little more if they’re for ‘professional use’. 
3. No dissolves, spins or other transitions. None. 
4. Sound effects can be used a few times per presentation, but never (ever) use the sound effects that are built in to the program. Instead, rip sounds and music from CDs and leverage the Proustian effect this can have. 
5. Don’t hand out print-outs of your slides. They’re emotional, and they won’t work without you there. If someone wants your slides to show “the boss,” tell them that the slides go if you go.

Second, make slides that reinforce your words, not repeat them. Create slides that demonstrate, with emotional proof, that what you’re saying is true not just accurate.
DeadbirdmoTalking about pollution in Houston? Instead of giving me four bullet points of EPA data, why not read me the stats but show me a photo of a bunch of dead birds, some smog and even a diseased lung? 

This is cheating! It’s unfair! It works.
