Understanding the Periodic Table of Elements via Iconic Mapping and Sequential Diagramming: The Roundhouse Strategy
Ward, Robin E.; Lee, William D.
Science Activities: Classroom Projects and Curriculum Ideas, v42 n4 p11-15, 17-19 Win 2006
Roundhouse is a visually creative information-processing tool (J. E. Trowbridge and J. H. Wandersee 1998). The procedure requires learners to construct knowledge using "mindful" connections to replace less effective practices of memorizing fragmented information. Students create observable organization schemes of related ideas and icons in a logical sequence.
