Concept Maps in Science • What is a concept map? • A concept map is a graphic illustration of the relationship between information. • In a concept map, two or more concepts are linked by words that describe their relationship. • Concept maps help the learner organize and enhance their knowledge.
How Do We Construct A Concept Map? • Select key words • Cells, tissues, organs, organ systems • Rank concepts from the most abstract (big ideas) to the most concrete and specific (supporting ideas). • Group. Group concepts that function together • Cells group together to form tissues, tissues group together to form organs • Arrange words and concepts into a diagrammatic representation (boxes, circles, bubbles, etc.) according to their groupings. • Link concepts with linking lines and label each line with a preposition.
Why Should We Use Concept Maps In Science? • To actively show what we know • To make connections between concepts • To help to identify misconceptions • To help identify missing knowledge
