Criteria 4 3 2 1: Concept Map
ENGAGING SCENARIO:
The Department of Science Technology is organizing a scientific conference on space education in which
experts from various science-related fields are expected to give a talk to a group of students and science professionals
(including educators and specialists) related to the theme: “Understanding Earth and Space Sciences: Processes
and Interconnections”. You and your team composed of various science experts are expected to discuss in the
scientific conference, aided with a CONCEPT MAP as the main visual aid, how the astronomical, geological,
and earth science principles work together for a better understanding of Earth and environmental processes
that we experience today. Your talk and concept map should clearly and comprehensively discuss how the
principles that involved the formation of the solar system produced a unique Earth driven by natural
processes that can sustain life.
