Unit 2 visual image

Unit 2 Visual Project:

Project Description:
I would use this with my 7th grade science class. I hope this image isn't to busy. My main focus is for the student to understand that water goes through a cycle of precipitation, evaporation, and condensation. Hopefully the graphic shows that idea and the text to the right should explain the 3 parts of the cycle. Let me know what I need to do to improve this image.

Revised Image:


Usability Comments:
Usability partner did not make a reply so I made my own corrections. I felt that the words Condensation, Precipitation, and Evaporation needed the color changed to white to match with the picture colors and make it more readable. The text to the right was white and therefore made it hard to read with the background.


Original Image:

Justification statement
The image isn't overly complex so it doesn't have a high Intrinsic load. The image isn't so busy that it causes the viewer to much of a visual load on the memory, or Extraneous load. (Chap. 3 pg. 52) Hopefully the image of the circle showing the water cycle will serve as a shape of Instructional function. (Chap. 10 pg. 250)
