In a variety of formats dependent upon the task, graphic organizers facilitate students’ learning by helping them identify areas of focus within a broad topic, such as a novel or article. Because they help the learner make connections and structure thinking, students often turn to graphic organizers for writing projects.

Teachers can use graphic organizers to illustrate a student’s knowledge about a topic or section of text showing areas for improvement.

So, when the sun came out today, we hit the ground running with three solar thermal projects at once. This time, instead of working with complicated, photovoltaic, solar panels, we experimented with harnessing the heat of the sun to expand air, purify water, and turn a pinwheel.
