I need to do 20 slides on "Conservation of Linear momentum." now if I am correct i shouldn't talk about elastic and inelastic collisions nor talk about impulse right? what theory should i talk about... I need help any resources anything would help. Any sources??

No, go ahead and talk about all of them. You've got 20 slides to fill, and those are all examples of Conservation of Linear momentum, so Good Luck.
Tip: Car crashes would be a good real life example. You can use Conservation of Linear momentum to examine the collision, find out the initial velocities of the cars after they crashed from the skid marks on the road, and from m1v1+ m2v2 =(m1+m2)v (conservation of linear momentum) find out the initial velocities at the time of collision. This has actually been done.

Billiard ballsand Box Cars are also very good examples.
Elasctic collisions.
Examples of how you can solve equations with the conservation of momentum as opposed to using KE and PE.
