Hexagons Generator (HTML5 / Word)!

A generator to create online 'drag and drop' hexagons [sample]
You can also export your work as a worksheet [sample]

Hexagon learning allows students to identify links between factors very effectively. Students categorise and link factors together for deeper understanding of the relationship between factors. I have written a detailed blogpost about hexagon learning here.

1. Title:

2. Introduction / Instructions for students

HEXAGON ESSAY-PLANNING TOOL. DRAG and DROP these hexagons into categories of your choice. You can color-code hexagons, and can create new hexagons (e.g. as titles for each group) by double-clicking anywhere on the canvas. When you are finished, you can use your work as the basis of an essay plan, presentation or project!

3. Hexagons Text: separate each with a newline

Causes for Union victory in the Civil War

Green = primary sources added at the end into appropriate categories

Consequences of the Black Death

Orange = handwritten hexagons based on video notes

Causes for Stalin's rise to power

Sweets given to each team for identifying factors not outlined in original hexagons

Normal resting potential across membrane is -70mV

Sodium ions rush into the axon causing a region of positive charge

Sodium potassium pump uses ATP to pump K+ ions into neurone and Na+ ions out

When stimulated above the threshold voltage gated sodium channels open

Some potassium ions leak out of the neurone

Potassium channels open and K+ ions leave the axon

The imbalance of ions between inside and outside of neurone causes a resting potential.

This continues along the length of the axon as the impulse is propagated.

The out-flow of potassium repolarises the membrane

The sodium potassium pump restores the resting potential

At the end of the neurone when an impulse arrives, vesicles release a neurotransmitter
