About scientific method and practical skills mind maps

Scientific Method and Practical Skills mind maps

These maps organize ideas about experiments into connected branches. You can explore the steps in “The scientific method”, look at accuracy and precision in “Key words for experiments”, or follow the discussion of single and repeated readings in “Practical Skills - Uncertainty”. Other maps cover topics such as experimental design and best fit graphs.

How to use the maps

Start with “Key words for experiments” if you want to distinguish accuracy from precision. Read each branch, then explain the terms in your own words. If you are focusing on a particular practical skill, open a map on that topic and use its branches to organize your notes.

When you want to check your understanding, switch to a quiz on the unit page. Flashcards there can help with short sessions on definitions. Choose a map and follow the connections that are most useful for your studying.

Frequently asked questions

Which mind map is a useful place to start?

“Key words for experiments” is a useful starting point if you want to go over accuracy and precision. Its branches describe how the terms differ. For an overview of the steps of an investigation, you could instead start with “The scientific method” and follow its sequence from observation to explanation.

What topics do the mind maps cover?

The maps cover the scientific method, measurements, errors and uncertainty, as well as experimental design, data processing and best fit graphs. Some focus on specific questions or practicals, while others bring several ideas together under scientific activity. You can choose a map according to the topic you are studying or teaching.

Are these mind maps free to use?

Yes. Every mind map listed here is free to open and study without an account. The resources were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr. A free account also lets you make your own mind maps, quizzes, flashcards and notes, and saves your quiz scores.
