CO2 PLANTS Living things RESPIRATION Carbon Dioxide Cycle

SPIDER MAPS

Spider Maps - a thing - a process - a concept - a proposition

WEB / TREE

Webbing, Clustering, Mapping Trees

CHAIN OF EVENTS / FLOW CHART

Series or Chains What is the object? What are the stages? How do they lead to one another? What is the final outcome?

COMPARE AND CONTRAST MATRIX

Compare/Contrast Matrices What things are being compared ? What they have in common ? What differences they exhibit ?

Sub-atomic particles All in the atom Electron Neutron Proton Positively charged, Determines atomic no. Number is constant Negatively charged, Almost no mass!! Can be removed or added, In constant motion in orbits Charged In the nucleus, similar mass, the sum of these is the mass no. Not charged, No. can vary (isoptope)

The K-W-L-H teaching technique is a good method to help students activate prior knowledge. This serves as a model for active thinking during reading. K - Stands for helping students recall what they KNOW about the subject. W - Stands for helping students determine what they WANT to learn. L - Stands for helping students identify what they LEARN as they read. H - Stands for HOW we can learn more (other sources where additional information on the topic can be found). K W L H

Summary

A flowchart for Graphic Organizers!

Use by teacher and students By teacher:  GOs already prepared and displayed as charts  Making while explaining in class By students  As a small project/assignment for a group  End of class to assess understanding – can divide parts to groups Give fully or partially blank GO for students to fill Write text but don’t show the relationships Ask them to find mistakes in a GO Different levels of activity for differently abled students Use it to revise

- Form department wise group - Create one graphic organizer for the topic of your choice to use in your classroom Group activity
