6th Grade - Science - Mind Mapping (Popplet)



Utah Core Standard 3
Students will understand the relationship and attributes of objects in the solar system.

 Objective 1
Describe and compare the components of the solar system.
Identify the planets in the solar system by name and relative location from the sun.

Using references, compare the physical properties of the planets (e.g., size, solid or gaseous).

Use models and graphs that accurately depict scale to compare the size and distance between objects in the solar system.

Describe the characteristics of comets, asteroids, and meteors.

Utah Ed Tech Standard 1 
Use keyboards and other common input and output devices (including adaptive devices when necessary) efficiently and effectively.

 Utah Ed Tech Standard 5
Use technology tools (e.g., multimedia authoring, presentation, web tools, digital cameras, scanners) for individual and collaborative writing, communication, and publishing activities to create knowledge products for audiences inside and outside the classroom.

ISTE Standard 3
Knowledge Constructor

Students critically curate a variety of resources using digital tools to construct knowledge, produce creative artifacts and make meaningful learning experiences for themselves and others.

Reflection:  I had fun with this project.  It is a great way of laying information out in a linear fashion so that it progress from one thought to the next.  It is also a great way of brain storming and creating an image that has main topics and then sub topics coming off of it.  It would be a good lesson to give to students and see what they come up with.  Whether they lay it organized or just place down the bubbles in more of a random pattern.  It would be a great way to get the students started on a timeline project by using Popplet first.  First they could plan what it is they are going to do and how they will lay it out.  Then move on to filling out a timeline with Tiki-Toki.  Students could also collaborate on this project as they lay out the information or jot down their brain storming ideas.
