Alexandra k Transfer quoted ―The best teachers are those who show you where to 
look, but don‘t tell you what to see‖. Pedagogy and enriched content are dependable solutions 
for effective teaching and learning. Real meaningful learning is the focus of modern teaching 
which follows a constructivist approach. Bygone are the days when the traditional lecture 
method was sufficient to teach the pupils. Advanced technologies have been the replacement of 
monotonous lecture methods. The pupil now constructs their knowledge by engagement, 
exploration, explanation, elaboration, and evaluation. Different pedagogical practices are 
involved like the Enquiry approach, reflective strategy, collaborative learning, etc. among which 
concept mapping is one of the important strategies. It is a graphical organizer which connects 
links between the two or more concepts in some logical sequential flows. Concept mapping 
effectively assists in achieving the learning outcome which has been already framed by NCERT 
for each level. Learning Outcomes are the assessment standard that indicates the expected level 
of learning that children should achieve for that particular class. These are the checkpoints or 
the minimum levels of learning among the students according to the grade. In class VII, NCERT 
Science Text contains 18 chapters, among which most of the chapters can be taught impressively 
with concept mapping, for example, Soil concept map, Heat Concept map, modes of Nutrition in 
plants, wastewater story, Wind cyclone, and storm concept maps are shown in this paper, which 
illustrates that concept mapping makes the clear picture in learners mind and it gives assured 
learning outcome which is expected according to the Module of learning Outcome of NCERT.
