The Science Flowchart looks at how science really works. It portrays scientific inquiry as a dynamic process. The Flowchart appears in several formats:
Science Flowchart mapping tool — an interactive journaling tool that allows students to document, annotate, and reflect upon their own and others' scientific research process.
Simple Science Flowchart (PDF) — depicting the four primary components of the process; there is also a Spanish language version
Complex Science Flowchart (PDF) — depicting the detailed version of the four components; there are also Spanish (18" x 24" poster), French, Japanese, Swahili, and German language versions, as well as a black & white and two blank versions — one in color and one with no color — so that your students can fill in the activities of their own investigations. Learners with vision loss can use our text description of the flowchart with a screen reader.
