The infographics we all enjoyed last week from Compound Interest are wonderful examples of how science concepts and processes can be presented visually.
If you would like to introduce infographics into your classroom or program, you will want to read Using Infographics in the Science Classroom by chemistry teacher Rosemary Davidson.
Davidson (2014) explains how she guides students through the creation of infographics in her environmental chemistry class. She shares the spec sheet she and her students use to evaluate their work, explains how the creation of infographics develops science literacy skills, and provides 22 Web and print resources that will help educators create infographics in their own programs.
Rosemary Davidson’s article can be purchased online at the NSTA store for 99¢.
