SOME ADVICE on USING MIND MAPS on CHAP 7/7A (COPPER & ALUMINIUM) & CHAP 8 (POLYMERS)

1. A MM Worksheet on Copper, Aluminium and Polymer

2. MIND MAP OF COPPER, ALUMINIUM AND POLYMERS (DRAWN IN 2014)

3. THESE TWO MIND MAPS ARE ON THE SAME TOPICS (COPPER, ALUMINIUM & POLYMERS) (DRAWN IN 2014). THEY ARE DONE IN REAL-TIME TO STUDENTS FROM TWO DIFFERENT CLASSES.

Slightly over a year ago, I posted a series of mind maps that I did for my students as a revision for their class test on Copper, Aluminium and Polymers. (Image No. 2 and 3). As these were done on whiteboard, they appear quite "longish". Thus, I decided to do a simple Mind Map that has the right proportion of a Landscape paper as shown in Image No. 1. This mind map needs further information (such as, uses of each material) to be added by the students themselves. This will help the students have a complete overview of the things they are supposed to know.

I have always reminded my students that in order to do well for their coming class test, they need to study the power point notes FIRST, then, with the aid of the mind map, it would act as an effective summary for them.

I did a quick review of the above real-time mind maps and found them still relevant for my students. Thus, I decided, for their convenience, to reproduce it here again.

My students, good luck in your revision. Hope the above mind maps helps. If it has helped you, please help others to understand it too.

Afternote:
I did a final revision with my students yesterday and the MM below is the result. I believe, they enjoyed the summary of Chapter 7, 7A and 8. The photo was taken by my student, James Ong.
