Abstract
There are many complex concepts and theories that students need to navigate throughout a chemistry course. Often the priority is to memorize facts and algorithms to pass exams rather than developing an adequate understanding. Students can also bring creative alternative conceptions, which hinder further learning. Visualization of the ideas behind chemical processes helps to effectively evaluate and learn concepts. Examples include Einstein’s ‘Elevator’ and Heisenberg’s gamma ray microscope. “A picture tells a thousand words”, graphics are therefore a powerful tool to facilitate understanding of concepts. Presented are examples of graphics for formative assessment supporting exam revision.
