Tool Challenge:Your job is to use one of the Infographic Tools (programs) listed below to recreate this “Phases of Matter” Infographic Venn Diagram (on the right). Use the “hints/guiding questions” to guide how you search for and use different tools in each of program. Because each program has slightly different tools, you’ll need to explore a bit to find these.

Infographic Tool to Try: GliffyCreatelyPiktochartEasel.ly

Hints/Guiding Questions: How do you create a new document or

diagram?

How do you draw shapes? How can you adjust the size and location of the shapes? How can you “fill” the color of the shapes? How can you adjust the “opacity” (see-through-ness) of the fill color? How can you add text to the shapes? How can you add text to other

locations (for example, the “overlap” area between two shapes or for the title)?

How can you add images or pictures to represent text?

Analysis Questions:1. What information can you present in a Venn Diagram?2. What information does this sample Venn Diagram show?
