Using Infographics in the Science Classroom
Davidson, Rosemary
Science Teacher, v81 n3 p34-39 Mar 2014
As a chemistry teacher, Rosemary Davidson has found "infographics" (information graphics) successfully engage her students in science--not only in carrying out the research for classroom projects but also in presenting the results of their research to their peers. This article will help teachers integrate student-created infographics into their own classrooms.
