Science lessons for schoolchildren

Twenty-four lessons where the phenomenon is not a picture but a running simulation. Move a slider and the swarm, the wave or the crystal behaves differently — the explanation follows what you did.

The problem

School science explains a phenomenon with a picture and a paragraph. A picture cannot answer the one question a curious child has: what happens if I change this?

What I built

Twenty-four lessons where the phenomenon runs. A swarm, a wave, a growing crystal, a spreading fire — each is a live simulation. Move a slider and the behaviour changes in front of you.

Explanations that follow the experiment. The text under each simulation reacts to the values the child chose, so it describes what just happened rather than a generic case.

A page for teachers. What each lesson covers, how long it takes and what to ask the class — so it works in a real classroom, not only at home.

Everything runs in the browser with no account and no install, and behaves the same on a slow phone as on a laptop.
