General Science (I) Charts, School Education

Quick Answer: General Science (I) Charts are the first set in a numbered series of general science charts for classroom walls, covering foundation topics in biology and physical science such as photosynthesis, the human body systems and simple physical concepts. They are used in primary and middle-school science.

Foundation Science Across One Series

At primary and middle-school level, science is taught as one subject before it splits into biology, chemistry and physics, and a general science series follows the same approach. Typical topics include photosynthesis, the main human organ systems, the parts of a plant, states of matter, simple machines and the water cycle.

The value of this kind of chart lies in showing a whole process as one picture: arrows from the sun, the roots and the air converging on a leaf, or a heart pumping blood round a body outline. Younger students grasp the overall idea first and learn the detail in later classes. Set (I) is aimed at the earlier years, and its titles are worth checking against your syllabus before ordering.

Specifications

Care & Handling

• In a mixed-use classroom, give these sheets a dedicated science board so notices do not end up pinned over them.
• Swap charts to match each unit, and store the rest rolled in a tube marked with the set number.
• Keep them away from sunny windows; the sunlight the photosynthesis diagram describes will also fade it.

Applications

• Introducing photosynthesis with a leaf-and-sunlight diagram
• First lessons on the human body systems
• Explaining simple physical ideas such as states of matter
• Science corner and science-day displays

Why Choose LabEquip

Schools often start with the General Science (I) set and add subject-specific titles such as the Human Body Charts as classes progress. Browse Educational Charts for other sets, and send orders through the LabEquip contact page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does photosynthesis look like on the chart?

Green plants use sunlight, absorbed by chlorophyll in their leaves, to make glucose from carbon dioxide and water, releasing oxygen. The chart usually shows these inputs and outputs as arrows around a leaf.

What is the word equation for photosynthesis?

Carbon dioxide plus water, in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll, gives glucose plus oxygen. Middle-school students later learn the balanced chemical equation.

How is a general science chart different from a biology chart?

A general science chart gives an overview across biology and physical science for younger classes. Subject charts, such as frog or flower charts, go into much more detail for secondary students.

What does (I) mean in the product name?

It marks the first set in a numbered general science series. Later sets cover further topics, so schools often buy them in order as the syllabus progresses.

Which human body systems are introduced first?

The digestive, respiratory, circulatory, skeletal and nervous systems are usually introduced first, with simple diagrams that show the main organs and what the system does.

How can teachers use the charts for revision?

Ask students to explain the process on the chart in their own words, or remove the labels and let them put them back. Explaining a diagram aloud reveals gaps in understanding quickly.
