  1. Animating Objects in PowerPoint 2007 Using Motion Pathsand Custom Animations to add interest to your classroom presentations

  2. Step 1: Add a graphic EITHER: • Insert Tab – Clip Art • Search for a graphic to use OR: • Insert Tab – Picture • Select a previously saved image OR: • Insert Tab – Shapes • Use the Drawing Tools to create your own graphic

  3. Step 1: Add a graphic • I did a search for “science” clip art • I selected the graphic shown here, and resized it slightly

  4. Step 2: Create a motion path • Select the graphic • Animations Tab → Custom Animation • This opens the side pane • Click on the button “Add Effect”

  5. Step 2: Create a motion path • Choose “Motion Paths” from the choices in the “Add Effect” menu • You can choose pre-set options, such as “Down”, or “Left” • You can also choose “Draw Custom Path”

  6. Step 2: Create a motion path • Custom paths include: • “Line” – draws a straight line path • “Curve” – forms a curved line • “Freeform” – makes a series of straight connected lines • “Scribble” – draws a freehand path

  7. Step 2: Create a motion path • I will draw a scribble path; this is a graphic line to show what it looks like • Once the path is complete, the rocket will follow it • To have the graphic leave the screen, draw the end of the path beyond the edge of the slide

  8. And here we go!

  9. Custom Animations Custom Animations can be used to reveal parts of a slide in sequence • Choose the text box or graphic to be animated • In the side panel, select Add Effect →Entrance and choose the effect you want • Experiment with various options to see how they look

  10. Custom Animations • Each element in the text box can be set to appear, using one of the following options: • Start on click – starts when you click the mouse button • Start with previous – shows with the previous element • Start after previous – shows automatically after the last element • Different sound effects can also be included with these animations. • You can also choose elements for emphasis, or make an element disappear from a slide show in a similar way.
