Trying to read instructions during the lab is confusing and uses a lot of time. How can we turn what is typically a list of instructions into something that is useful in the lab? We use a flowchart. A flowchart is a visual representation of a list of instructions. Watch the video to help you understand how flow charts work and then answer the questions below.
