Vocabulary+-+Chapter+1+Exercise

In order to be prepared to complete this vocabulary exercise, you will need to read **Chapter 1**, **pages 8 - 45** in the BC Science 8 Textbook.
====In this chapter, we learn all about the **CELL** and all of the parts that make up a cell. There are TWENTY-SIX key terms to learn for this chapter! That is a lot of terms! All these terms are **bolded** in your textbook, and there is also a list of them below.====

= **Your task:** = ====You will be making a graphic organizer called a **MIND MAP**. Your mind map **does not have to** include all the terms, but it must have every term that you have difficulty understanding or remembering.====

= **INSTRUCTIONS (to do in class time, with your teacher):** =
 * 1) ====Go to @https://www.mindmeister.com====
 * 2) ====Sign up for a free account which allows you to create three mind maps for free!====
 * 3) ====Go to your email account in order to activate the link sent to you by mindmeister.com.====
 * 4) ====Spend one class trying out the different tools, uploading images, making links and nodes in order to make sure you understand how to use the program.====

= INSTRUCTIONS (You will do this either in given class time or on your own): =
 * 1) ====Your mind map must begin with a central idea. This idea will be **THE CELL**. Please upload an image (do a google image search and be sure to keep a list of the sources for every image you use) of the cell and put an appropriate title in the middle of your mind map.====
 * 2) ====Connect key terms to the central idea. Terms can be connected to each other too and not all of them have to be directly connected to the central idea.====
 * 3) ====If you have trouble remembering a term's defintion, add extra information to that node.====
 * 4) ====Keep adding terms as we work through the chapter. You are welcome to go back and change or revise any of the work you have done at any time.====
 * 5) ====At the end of chapter one, you will have ONE mind map containing all the terms you find difficult. The terms should be connected in ways that make sense to you and help you to understand the terms and their definitions.====

=__**EXAMPLES**__= ====Here is an example of a mind map after **Chapter 1, section 1**. The central idea is in ORANGE and has an image of the cell. All the purple nodes are about microscopes. The bolded terms (**compound light microscope, scanning electron microscope, magnification power** and **resolving power**) are the key terms. The other non-bolded text is just extra information added to help me understand the key terms. Remember, you can add extra information where you feel necessary!====



Here is an example of the same mind map after **Chapter 1, section 3**. Keep in mind, this one includes ALL the chapter 1 key terms, and yours does not have to!


=__**Some final suggestions:**__=
 * ====use pictures for any terms that you have trouble remembering====
 * ====use colour to identify themes in your map (e.g. you could use green font for all the plant cell terms)====
 * ====bold any key terms====
 * ====all other terms should be written in regular font====
 * ====feel free to use the icons and images provided by the website====
 * ====your links can include written words if you choose====
