VISUAL GUIDES · AGES 6+ TO 12+
Some ideas become clearer when you can see them move.
Pause an animation. Follow a process. Change a setting and ask why. These guides offer a deeper next step beyond our illustrated stories.
PLANTS & ENERGY GUIDE 01
Look inside a leaf, follow six connected views, and explore how light, carbon dioxide, and water can limit a simplified model.

LIGHT & OPTICS · AGES 12+
Why does glass bend light? Why do wavelengths take different paths?
Change the incoming angle, choose a glass, or send just one colour through. Follow the rays and test your prediction.
PRISMS & DISPERSION AGES 12+
An interactive optics bench with calculated ray paths, wavelength controls, and internal reflection.
Open the prism experiment ↗MATHEMATICS & PATTERNS
PATTERNS & NATURE AGES 9+
Watch branching repeat at smaller scales, then zoom in. A gentle introduction to self-similarity.
Watch and explore ↗SHAPES & AREA AGES 10+
Watch 9 and 16 tiles fill a 25-tile square. Explore the Pythagorean relationship in a right triangle.
Watch and explore ↗FRACTIONS & EQUAL PARTS AGES 6+
Watch one pie become four equal quarters. Follow the numerator and denominator, then put the whole back together.
Watch and explore ↗CIRCLES & PI AGES 7+
Measure across and around a circular pie. Watch three diameters fit, with a little extra: pi.
Watch and explore ↗Animations simplify the world so we can study an idea. They are not to scale, and model settings are not measurements of a real plant. Each guide explains its limits.
Age guidance varies: around 6+ for fractions, 7+ for pi, 9+ for fern patterns, 10+ for square areas, and 12+ for the detailed photosynthesis guide. Younger readers can explore with an adult. More concepts will join this collection over time.
