Use of Double Bubble Map
– Going off of what was done for the Bubble Maps last week, how have you used a
double bubble map to compare and contrast two ideas. Instead of only
using adjectives, students can now use any word or phrase. Don't forget
to detail the Frame of Reference that your students used to compare and
contrast the same or different ideas.
Going a bit further –
Fine two topics that are very similar and somewhat confusing. Utilize the
double bubble to distinguish the difference and similarities between the two
topics.

We used double bubble maps in my Fast Track biology 1 class to compare and contrast vocabulary terms in our genetics unit. Students did double bubble maps for heterozygous vs homozygous, dominant vs recessive, and genotype vs phenotype. They struggled with the similarities but did well with the differences.
ReplyDeleteWe used double bubble maps in chemistry to compare and contrast ionic and covalent bonds. They did a good job coming up sith similarities and differences between the two types of bonds. This was a good way to review.
ReplyDeleteIn the unit on electrochemistry there are 2 different types of cells...galvanic and electrolytic.... the AP chm kids used the double bubble map to compare and contrast these 2 types of cells.
ReplyDeleteI find that this map is nice to use when changing from inorganic chemistry to organic chemistry.
ReplyDeleteAs a summary for the Scopes Monkey Trial video we just finished, students did a double bubble map comparing Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan. Students listed commonalities as being powerful and well-known.
ReplyDeleteLots of great ideas on using double bubble maps.
ReplyDeleteWe used a double bubble map last week to compare and contrast velocity vs. time graphs with distance vs. time graphs. It helped students to see the difference when describing what the graphs shows.
ReplyDeleteI thought I had put this in earlier, but we did a double bubble in biology I on the differences between two of the finches that Darwin observed to spark a discussion of how adaptive radiation occurs. The students did well in marking their differences and similarities. This allowed us to talk about how they can from a common ancestor.
ReplyDeleteWe used a double bubble map in Honors Biology I to compare and contrast macroevolution and microevolution.
