Scientific diagram writing

Explaining scientific diagrams
Scientific diagrams change depending on the audience ,
Scientific diagrams are usually used to give a visual image of what the author is talking about.


Audience - The audience is important depending on the age group because you want the
readers to be able to learn but it not to be to complicated that the cant understand it.
In text 1 it was more for the younger years because the words were not to complex
there was a bit of explaining being done on the side.But in text 2 (which is about how to
plant a apple tree) it is complicated there is less explaining and the diagram is a bit more
confusing than the one in text 1 (which is about how plants grow).


Purpose - The purpose of a scientific diagram is to either explain , inform , persuade 
and to entertain the reader.I found that all of the text were to inform you about either
tell you how plants grow , how to nurture a apple tree and when to plant certain fruit
or vegetables.It is also to help people learn about topics the reader are interested in.
I know it isn't persuading because it is telling me factual information and not telling me to do something.


Visuals - In a scientific diagram the visual image will change depending on the age
group because younger kids will understand better if the picture has less words and
more colors but for older kids they can understand complex images that don't contain as much colour.
There is normally color in the diagrams that are meant for younger kids because
it is more inviting and exciting for them.


Symbols- The symbols don't really change in a diagram depending on peoples age
because in text 1 (how to look after a plant) has arrows directing to movement.
In text 2 (Planting a apple tree) has lines pointing to a certain area of the diagram.


Words / Labels - In scientific diagrams the words change depending
on the age group because younger people will not be able to understand
complex words unlike older kids and adults.
