Earth Science Google Drawing Concept Map

In this Google Drawing activity, students will create a concept map using the following words: Earth Science, geology, waves, currents, astronomy, oceanography, stars, volcanoes, planets, meteorology, fossils, weather, climate, rocks galaxies, thunderstorms, tides, tsunamis, lightning, comets, minerals, asteroids, tornadoes, hurricanes, and earthquakes.

I use this activity at the beginning of my Earth Science Course. It reinforces students' ability to organize through a concept map as well as introduces them to Google Drawing, a powerful collaborative means of visually expressing ideas.

I let students work either by themselves or with partners. Some of the creativity is awesome.

This product has the rubric for the assignment. This link contains a presentation with many Concept maps that have been completed by students.
