Dual-Coding Technique- Infographic

I created the science infographic example on the

next four slides using Canva's drag-and-drop
interface and pre-designed templates.
I chose a template and added text, images, and icons
to visually represent the science concept.

I customized the design by changing colors, fonts,

and layout to fit the content and purpose. I used
Canva's design elements, such as grids, alignment,
and spacing, to ensure a cohesive and professional-
looking design. Finally, I exported the infographic as
an image file that can be printed or shared digitally.
