APES Unit 6 Concept Map Review Game – Teacher

Summary

The Hexagon Concept Map Game is a collaborative APES review activity designed to help students synthesize Unit 6: Energy Resources and Consumption. Students work in small groups to connect vocabulary terms, explain relationships, and challenge each other’s reasoning.

This activity goes beyond memorization by requiring students to:

• Apply APES vocabulary in context
• Identify cause-and-effect relationships in energy systems
• Practice argumentation and evidence-based reasoning
• Build systems thinking across energy production and environmental impacts

The resource includes pre-filled hexagon tiles aligned to APES Unit 6 vocabulary, a reference page for key terms, and a blank template for customization. Minimal prep and flexible implementation make it ideal for test review, formative assessment, or active learning.
