Breaking Down Big Ideas with Diagrams

Visual Learning with Diagrams

Drawing diagrams can help you understand complicated topics like DNA structure or how traits are inherited. Try making your own diagrams for cell division, Punnett squares, or gene editing.

How to Use Diagrams

  • Use arrows and labels to show steps in a process.
  • Color-code different parts for easier learning.
  • Hang your diagrams on your wall as a quick reference before tests.

Examples

  • Sketching the steps of mitosis with labels and colors.

  • Drawing a family tree to see how traits are passed down.
