5. Example 1: Using graphics to teach five different types of content such as facts, concepts, processes, procedures, and principles: This graphic teaches content related to the life cycle of the frog.

6. In this screen capture from the Science News for Kids site, the graphics are used to organize the sections of the website. Clicking on each graphic takes the student to a different section of the website. Graphic Source: http://www.sciencenewsforkids.org / Example 2: Using graphics as topic organizers

7. Example 3: Using graphics to show relationships This graphic shows the learner the relationship between two different types of Buddhism. Venn diagrams are only one type of graphic that shows relationships. Graphic Source: http://www.pps.k12.or.us/schools-c/pages/westsylvan/student/religion/buddhism_pm/venn-diagram.gif

8. Example 4: Using graphics as lesson interfaces This screen capture is from a site which has emergency case simulators for veterinary students. The students using the site have to choose the procedures and type of care appropriate for each emergency case. Graphic Source: http://www.rvc.ac.uk/review/cases/Jess/jess.htm

29. “ Cool moist air moves over a warmer surface and becomes heated.” “ Warmed moist air near the earth’s surface rises rapidly.” “ As the air in this updraft cools, water vapor condenses into water droplets and forms a cloud.” “ The cloud’s top extends above the freezing level, so the upper portion of the cloud is composed of tiny ice crystals.” “ Eventually, the water droplets and ice crystals become too large to be suspended by the updrafts.” “ As raindrops and ice crystals fall through the cloud, they drag some of the air in the cloud downward, producing downdrafts.” “ When downdrafts strike the ground, they spread out in all directions, producing the gusts of cool wind people feel just before the start of the rain.” “ Within the cloud, the rising and falling air currents cause electrical charges to build.”

32. What We Don’t Know About Visuals

34. Are the effects long term?

35. Do we have the time to create them?

36. What are the cost benefits?

37. Motivation in color?

38. Does it matter which?

39. These are questions not answered in the principal

40. More research is needed…
