Using Diagrams and Models

Visual Learning for Science

Drawing diagrams or building models can help you understand complex ideas like how planets orbit the sun or how forces act on objects. You can use clay, paper, or even digital apps to create your own models.

When you see or make a diagram, label the important parts and use arrows to show movement or forces. This makes it easier to remember and explain what you’ve learned.

Examples

  • Drawing a solar system model with labeled planets.

  • Using arrows to show how gravity pulls objects down.
