YOUR TURN · 10 MINUTES

Draw a journey with arrows

Paper and two colored pencils.

  1. Draw a simple heart shape and two lung shapes as a diagram.
  2. Use arrows to make a route from the heart to the lungs.
  3. Use another color to show the route back to the heart.
  4. Explain what your diagram shows, and what a simple drawing leaves out.
Let’s wonder

How can a diagram make a journey that we cannot see easier to understand?
