Concept Maps
What is a concept map? A concept map is a graphic representation of several interconnected ideas which are made up of two elements: concepts (or short phrases) and links. Concept maps are very useful tools for organizing and simplifying information.
Example of a concept map:
The website I used to create this concept map is called lucidchart.com. This website provides concept map templates. It is free and easy to use. I decided to create a concept map based on food. I found enough information about where food comes from and what it contains. Then I identified several concepts about the topic that are considered most important and necessary. I connected my topic through a link word (or phrase) that explains how they relate, therefore creating a proposition.
Brief description of the concept map:
Food is what living beings eat and drink for their subsistence and nutritional purposes. Foods are mostly of animal or vegetable origin although algae, inorganic substances such as salt and water are also consumed. Foods provide us with proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals.
