Slide Number 7

Chapter link

http://epathshala.nic.in/wp-content/doc/book/flipbook/Class IX/0964-Science/CHAP 14/index.html

We will make a map for students to study Natural Resources.
  • Link for NCERT Class IX Science textbook on Natural resources is shown here.
Press window key. First, let's open Freeplane.

Press the windows key on the keyboard.

Type freeplane in the search form. In the search form, type Freeplane.
Open Freeplane. Double click on the Freeplane icon to open the program.
Cursor on the map. The program may open with a previously loaded map.
Press Ctrl+O or click on File, Open Saved map. Press Ctrl, O or click on File, Open Saved map.
From Desktop directory, select the nodes.mm.


Click on Open.

A dialog box opens. I have saved the input file in Desktop directory.


From the Desktop, select the nodes dot mm map and click on Open .

Cursor on the map. The map opens in Freeplane.

Click on Navigate, Fold, Unfold all.

Point to Air pollution and Burning fossil fuels. Let’s connect the two summary nodes with a linking line.
Select both the nodes For connecting two nodes with linking line, first select both the nodes.
Select Burning fossil fuels node. First select Burning fossil fuels node.
Press and hold the Shift key. Press and hold the Shift key.
Choose Air pollution node. Then choose Air pollution node.

Now both nodes are selected.

Highlight the line added. Then, press Control L to add the connector line.
Hover mouse over Edit, Connect. Menu alternate for this is Edit, Connect to add connection.
Cursor on the connecting line and arrow. Let's add text to the link line, to bring rigour to the map.

Notice that the arrow is pointing to air pollution.

This shows burning fossil fuels contribute to air pollution.

Place the cursor on the connector line and right click. Place the cursor on the connector line and right click.
Cursor on the Connector dialog box. Connector dialog box opens, with many options for formatting.
In the Middle label form Contributing factors In the Middle label form, I will type Contributing factors.
Click on Connector arrows pulldown. Click on the connector arrows pulldown and notice we can retain or loose arrows.
Click on Connector shapes pulldown. Change connector line styles using Connector Shapes pulldown.
Cursor on the connector shape. Currently, I have a curve shape and I will keep it.
Click on the 'OK' sign. Click on the OK button to close the dialog box.
Place cursor on line, left click to see a palm. Place the cursor on line and left click to see a palm sign.
Drag to move the line and resize, and bring back to where it was. We can drag to move the line and resize to suit our needs.
Cursor on Clean Energy. Let’s change the node shape for Clean Energy.
Select Clean energy node. First, let’s select it.
Click on the arrow. Open the Tool panel.

Clean energy is different from fossil fuel energy.

Scroll down the arrow. Scroll down the Tool panel.
In the Tool panel, Node shape pull down, select bubble. Change node shape to Bubble using Tool panel, node shape pull down.
Cursor on the windmills node. When a node shape is changed, descendant nodes also change to the new shape.
Hover mouse over the Clean energy node and it's children. Select the descendant nodes and change them to desired styles later.
Cursor on Clean energy node. Next, I will add a cloud to the Clean Energy node.
Select Clean Energy node, and scroll down the Tool panel. For this, select the node, and scroll down the Tool panel.
Under the Clouds option, check box of change. In the Clouds option, click on the check box for change.
Hover mouse over the node to show cloud. Notice a cloud gets added to the node and it's children.
Click on the rectangle next to the cloud color. To change the cloud color, click on the rectangle, next to cloud color.
In the Swatches tab, Choose a sky blue color. The Cloud color dialog box opens.

In the Swatches tab, I will choose a sky blue color.

Hover mouse over the squares below and click on Ok. Notice that the square below, also shows the chosen color.

Click on the OK button.

Cursor on the cloud. Now the cloud has turned blue and stands out visually in the map.
Cursor next to Water node. Let's rearrange the positions of children of the Water node.
Select Sustenance node. I want to bring the Sustenance node to the 5th sibling position.
Hide the Tool panel. Click on the right arrow on the Tool panel to hide it.


Setect Sustenance. So let us first select it.
Click on Edit, Move and Sort. Click on Edit, Move and sort option.
Click on Move Node (sibling down) twice. Click twice, on Move Node, sibling down.
Hover mouse over Sustenance. This moves the node two places down.
Click on Edit, Move and Sort and hover mouse on the options. Nodes can be moved up, left or right using this pull-down.
Cursor on the canvas. Keyboard shortcut for this, is to press control with arrow keys.
Hover mouse over Edit, Move and Sort, Sort Children option In Freeplane we can also sort child nodes.

The Sort children option seen here, sorts child nodes alphabetically.

Cursor on the interface. Now, let’s add Free or floating nodes.

Floating nodes are useful to convey or connect multiple concepts in the map.

Click on Edit, New Node, New floating Node Click on Edit, New Node, New floating Node.
Show the new node on the canvas. A Free node without any connections is added.
Select the free node.

Move the mouse slightly to get oval icon to drag it.

Select the free floating node.

Move the mouse slightly to left till the oval drag option appears on the screen.

Move the free node to the right of Clean energy node. Left click, drag and move the free node to the right of Clean energy node.
Add a text box in video, Let's add a table to the node. Let's add a table to the node.
Right-click and select Edit Node core in dialog option.

Point to the dialog box.

Right-click on the node, and select Edit Node core in dialog option.

Edit Node core in dialog opens.

Click on Table, Table. In the box click on the Table menu and select Table option.
Cursor on the form of the dialog box. An Insert Table dialog box appears.

This prompts the user to enter the number of columns needed in the table.

Type 2 in the form, click on OK button. In the how many columns form, type 2, and click on the OK button.
Type Ocean Currents, Hydroelectric Power in the two columns. For node text, type, Ocean Currents and Hydroelectric Power in the two columns.

These are sources of clean energy.

Cursor on the table menu. Once a table is added, we can add or delete rows and columns in the table.
Place the cursor anywhere on the table. Place the cursor anywhere on the table and left-click.
Point to the formatting options in the dialog box.

Click on Table and open the pull down.
