Diagram Maker
A drawing resource for producing neat, accurate diagrams of experimental apparatus. Students who struggle to draw neat diagrams for assessments can be encouraged to use this resource to produce high quality results independently. Teachers may wish to use it to draw diagrams that can be used on worksheets.

What you get

This is similar to computer packages for drawing, with the bonus of including the main pieces of science experimental equipment as versatile line diagrams, that can be selected and positioned.

Using the resource

On opening the resource all the pieces of equipment and controls are in a tool bar down the left side of the screen. Once a piece of equipment is selected it can be positioned with a "click" of the mouse. Other controls allow you to enlarge, reduce, rotate, move or erase an object. If required, text can be inserted and lines added. When the diagram is finished it can be printed out from the button on the tool bar.
