Scientific Diagram is when you complete an illustration
that pertains to a topic mostly used by scientists.

A diagram is a simplified and structured visual representation of concepts,
ideas, constructions, relations, statistical data, [[anatomy]and etc. used in all aspects of human activities to visualize and clarify the topic.


Different Types of Diagrams

  • Flow Chart
  • Sequence Chart
  • Cause and Effect
  • Tree diagram
  • Graph ( pie, line, etc.)
  • Concept Map
  • Family Tree
  • Venn Diagram
  • Mind Map ( Board Games- Visual,Words)

Scientific methods

The essential elements of a scientific method are :

  • Characterizations ( observations, and measurements)
  • Hypotheses (theoretical)
  • Predictions (reasoning include hypothesis and theory to force outcome)
  • Experiments (tests of all of the above)

What to Do?

Any kind of diagram you do has to cause something scientifically. You might include how a rock is born but get into more depth and say how a Igneous rock is born.

Scientific Diagram Example

  1. Lava and Magma cools
  2. The lava and magma becomes a rock when crystal structure forms.
  3. The rock then forms what is known as an Igneous Rock.
