Exam Command Terms - (Mainly for Science Exams, but applicable to other subjects!)

I made a powerpoint with easy to read font for all the possible command terms in science exams (SATs, GCSEs, AS/A Levels). However, I am certain these command terms are also applicable to many other non-science subjects. There are 25 command terms with definitions, on A4 landscape pages. An example of one of the command terms is below: State: Give a specific name, value or other brief answer. (No supporting argument or calculation is needed) Included is the original powerpoint to add to/edit. As you may not have the font I used installed it will just show up in Arial. I've included a pdf copy as well which will have the font I used on it. I picked the font, as normally these type of displays are written in comic sans to make them easy to read, but I detest that font! This font, named 'complete in him' is easy to read for dyslexic students (I have surveyed some of my students who are dyslexic, and I am also dyslexic)
