1. Locating, Editing, & Using Diagrams in Your Science Lesson
Gary Carlin, CFN 603

2. Use of Diagrams on Regents
+50% of the Living Environment
+70% of the Earth Science
+30% of the Chemistry
+40% of the Physics

3. Every Lesson – “Visual”
Prop (Everyday Object of “Created Model”)
3-5 Regents Diagrams (B&W) Minimum
2-3 “Color Pictures”
Optional: Demo, Video Clip, Online Site …

4. B&W Regents Diagrams From previous Regents Examinations
Must Identify “Type of Diagram”
Type of Diagram determines the Processing
Processing: specific series of STEPS

5. Color Pictures/Diagrams
Color Pictures come after B&W
Tell a “Story”
Fill-in Details and Provide Greater Depth
Make Real World Connections (Modeling)

6. Finding Your B&W Diagrams
WWW. NYSED.GOV
Click “Index A-Z” select Click on “[R]”
Click on “Regents Examinations and Tests”
Click on “Regents and RCTs”
Click on “Past Regents Examinations” (gray box)
Select: “Chemistry, ES, LE, or Physics”

7. WWW.NYSED.GOV http://www.nysedregents.org/
Open Regents Exam then “Save As” onto your drive (.pdf file so you will have the camera)

8. Working With Images Enlarge to 150-300% to avoid pixilation
“Copy” image (camera)
“Paste” image
Scale Image Size (bottom, right-hand corner, circle)
Position on slide (click and drag)
Add Text (Text Box)

9. Scaling an Image

10. Use PPT Pre-Set Text Boxes

12. Or Insert a Text Box In Drawing Section Upper-Left Hand Corner
Click on icon
Click anywhere in document

13. Add Arrows/Shapes

14. “Circling a Word(s) or Object”
Click on “INSERT” tab
Select “Shapes” Drop-down Menu
Select a Shape: ie. Circle or Square
Click, Hold and Drag over area wanted
Under Drawing Tools click on “Format”
Click on Shape Fill: Select “No Fill”
Click on “Shape Outline”: Select Color and Weight of line for the shape

15. Hyperlink Allow us to connect to online resources “Insert” Tab
Hyperlink a word(s) or an object

16. Hyperlink to “Jump”: Link to:
Existing File
or Web page
Place in This Document
Create New Document
Address

17. Jumping in a PowerPoint
Select a “Place in this Document”:
Slide Title
Slide Number with Heading Name
“Slide Preview”:
Shows you the picture of the slide you want to Jump (back or ahead) to in your presentation.

18. Diagram Progression Simple to Complex --- “Up the Ladder”
Allows for easy entry – Start with diagrams that all students to discuss “General, Non-scientific” Observations/Inferences.
Develop consistent Science and non-content vocabulary (description, process, explanation)

19. Start Simple Basic “Skeleton Pictures” Less Text/Labeling is Better
Look to separate and enlarge parts of Complex (ie. “1-Picture Story”) Diagrams
Represent in a simpler form?

20. Build Slowly Connect to something known or previous information
Identifying specific parts or areas allows for a “focus”

21. Add Complexity
Allows us to focus a specific detail, usually related to a scientific process
Structure allows us to understand function, yet, we can do this conceptually first.

22. Most Detailed/Complex
Apply to very specific information, substructures, or examples
Connect to previous diagrams and language

23. Analysis “Content” Graphically

24. Summarize/Access in the “Abstract”
Look at the “content” in a new and different format --- Complete and EXPLAIN this diagram!

25. One & Only One Answer 1. Explain Task 2. Justify Answer
3. ADD Information Ask a Question?

26. Test Page for “JUMPING”
Hopefully we “JUMPED” here!!!
If not I’m turning RED with Embarrassment
Now I want to Jump BACK!!!
