This week we were introduced to Bubbl.us. It is very similar to kidspiration that I have used before. The nice thing about bubbl.us is that it's free and I can work on this from home and bring it to the classroom. My concept mapping is for our science fair project in fourth grade. I give them a rubric and this map work help them follow the Scientific Method when they are doing and writing up their experiments. We teach this method of reasoning throughout our practical labs, and the students could use this chart to become familiar and consistent on their science reporting. The bubbles are different colors. the yellow are numbered and are the order of their experimenting. The purple are guides as to what needs to be recorded. The green are tips or reminders. The orange are important instructions. If the students follow this map they will have a solid understanding of the scientific method that they can use every time we are in the lab.
