The main findings show that Concept Cartoons are:

• highly motivating across all age ranges and with learners of different levels of understanding
• effective at both revealing and challenging learners’ ideas, and linking together the process of elicitation and restructuring ideas
• effective in integrating learning and assessment into a single strategy
• viewed as very easy to manage in the classroom and potentially offering a valuable strategy for differentiation
• powerful for generating pupil talk, helping them to co-construct arguments and contextualising science learning opportunities.
