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, anatomyand 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.
