Relationships

After completing your organizational scheme, write short phrases on the lines linking the concepts in your map.

[Note: These conceptual links help illustrate students' understanding of the relationships between the concepts in the map and can help clarify sources of confusion or misunderstanding. For example, do your students understand the difference between physical and chemical separation methods? Ask them to explain the differences between compounds and mixtures, solutions and mixtures, and solutions and compounds.]

Finishing Up  

Before printing the final concept map, you may wish to adjust the layout of your diagram by using the arrange choices from the top menu. When satisfied with the appearance of your work, print your concept map. Note that the Print Options include a Fit to One Page choice, as well as both vertical and horizontal page layouts.

Show your concept map to other students in the class and explain your reasoning. More than one correct arrangement of these terms is possible. The point of the concept map is to allow you to express your understanding of the relationships between the terms.
