General Science (II) Charts, School Education

Quick Answer: General Science (II) Charts are the second set in a numbered series of general science wall charts, continuing from set (I) with further topics that mix biology, chemistry and physics for middle and early secondary classes. Teachers use them to illustrate lessons and for classroom revision.

What Set (II) Adds to the Series

A numbered chart series exists because one set cannot cover a whole integrated syllabus. General Science (II) continues where the first set leaves off, and as students move up the school the emphasis shifts from describing living things and materials towards explaining them: how a circuit carries current, why some substances react, how a flower becomes a seed. The integrated approach stays, so a single set can hold a biology diagram, a chemistry diagram and a physics diagram side by side.

Topics commonly found in second sets of this type include the parts of a flower and pollination, the structure of an atom, magnets and magnetic fields, simple circuits with cells and bulbs, and the separation of mixtures by filtration or evaporation. The set’s contents change between printings, so request the current title list and match it to your class syllabus.

Diagrams in a later set tend to carry more labels and short explanatory captions than a starter set, which suits students who are now expected to reproduce and annotate diagrams in written answers. Displaying only the chart for the current unit keeps the wall from turning into background noise.

Applications

• Illustrating a first lesson on electric circuits, with the chart beside the actual cells, wires and bulbs
• Explaining filtration, evaporation and other ways of separating mixtures
• Teaching pollination and seed formation with a labelled flower diagram
• Backdrops for science exhibitions and parents’ open days

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Mark the back of each sheet with ‘Set II’ and its chart number so the set stays together when several classes borrow it.
• Hang charts at the eye height of the students in the room, not the teacher.
• Store the set flat in a drawer or loosely rolled; tight rolling makes a sheet curl back once displayed.

Why Choose LabEquip

Schools that already use the General Science (I) Charts usually add this set when students reach the next classes, so the illustrations keep a consistent style. Further titles are listed under Educational Charts, and the LabEquip contact page is where to request the current set (II) list.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is set (II) different from General Science (I)?

Set (I) introduces foundation ideas for the early years, while set (II) moves on to topics taught in later classes, with more labels and explanation per diagram. Buying both gives a continuous series in a matching visual style.

Do I need set (I) before buying set (II)?

No. Each set works on its own, and a school can buy only the set that matches the classes it teaches. Owning both simply avoids gaps between year groups.

Which subjects does the set cover?

It follows an integrated science course, so a set of this kind usually mixes biology topics such as plant reproduction with physical science topics such as circuits, magnets, atoms and mixtures, rather than covering a single subject.

Which classes are these charts pitched at?

They suit middle school and the first years of secondary school, when science is still taught as one subject before it splits into biology, chemistry and physics.

How can one chart be used in a practical lesson?

Put the chart next to the apparatus. While students build a series circuit, for example, the chart shows the correct circuit symbols and layout, and students then draw their own circuit using the same symbols.

How can I find out which titles are in the current set?

Send a request through the LabEquip contact page for the title list of the current set (II) printing. Comparing it with your syllabus before ordering avoids paying for charts on topics you do not teach.
