Use
of Multi Flow Maps – Flow maps assist students with understanding cause and
effect. How have you used a multi flow map to show cause and effect in
your teaching this week? What was the main topic/event How did the
causes effect the event and what were the effects? Did the student's
Frame of Reference help guide the map?
Going
a bit further – Divide the class in half and have one half give causes and have
the other half give effects to an event.

When working on energies, Multi-Flow Maps are nice to use for the differences in concepts on renewable and non-renewable sources. If the world uses non-renewable energies what are the causes requiring their use and what are the effects of the use. The same pattern for renewable energies can be used.
ReplyDeleteI used a multi-flow map in Biology to study human impact on our planet. We looked at major impacts such as deforestation, habitat fragmentation, desertification, acid rain, and many other problems that are caused by people and looked at the effects these problems have on the earth and the organisms that live on it.
ReplyDeleteA muiti-flow map is a good way to study cause and effects of acceleration.For example: an object is accelerating. The cause of this is a force. The effects of this force is that the object speeds up, slows down and/or changes direction.
ReplyDeleteUsed a multi-flow map when discussing the causes and effects for lightning when discussing static electricity. Students read an article that discussed both causes and effects, but they also added other effects that they know occur that were not mentioned.
