Favorite Demonstration: E-Concept Mapping

Journal of College Science Teaching – January/February 2007

Not all demonstrations involve using exciting visual displays of one or a series of scientific principles. Demonstrations can be as simple as showing the interrelationship between scientific concepts or principles using concept maps. Concepts maps are tools that help people conceptualize and remember a conglomeration of facts making up complex topics or paradigms. They assist with factual retention while encouraging the use of facts in problem- solving activities. A concept map promotes creativity and flexibility because it places facts in the construct of the student’s learning modality.
