Interactive Concepts

Drag-to-explore visualizers for the math, physics, and chemistry ideas students meet most. Every one is free to use in the browser, and exports to an image, GIF, or MP4 for your slides and handouts.

Math

These visualizers cover the graphs students meet from algebra through precalculus. Instead of memorizing that "b moves the line up", learners drag the parameter itself and watch the graph respond — the fastest way to connect an equation to its shape. Each one displays exact intercepts, vertices, and solution points as the parameters move.

Physics

Motion is hard to reason about from a frozen textbook figure. These simulations run the actual physics: set the launch angle or spring stiffness, press play, and read the resulting trajectory, period, or velocity curves in real time. Pause anywhere to take a reading, then export the frame for a worksheet problem.

Chemistry

Reactions happen at a scale nobody can see, which is why particle-level animations beat static equations for first-time learners. These visualizers show molecules breaking and forming bonds as the equation balances, with atom counts tracked live on both sides — useful for everything from GCSE combustion to A-level elimination mechanisms.

Using these in your classroom

Each visualizer is built for three moments in a lesson. Project it during direct instruction and drag the parameters live while the class predicts what happens next. Hand students the link for guided exploration — every control is labeled, so a short worksheet ("set a = -2, what happened to the roots?") is enough structure. Then export stills or short animations for your own slides, quizzes, and revision handouts.

Exports come out as PNG images, looping GIFs, or MP4 clips sized for slides. The free export carries a small watermark; a watermark-free export costs one credit. Nothing here requires an account to explore.

Need a labeled static figure instead — a cell diagram, a food web, a flowchart? That is what the AI diagram generators are for: describe the figure in a sentence and get a labeled diagram you can edit and export. Concepts teach behavior; generators produce figures.

Frequently asked questions

Are the interactive concept pages really free?

Yes. Every visualizer on this page runs free in the browser with no account required. Exporting a watermark-free image, GIF, or MP4 uses one Figviz credit; the watermarked export is free.

Can I use the exported images and animations in my teaching materials?

Yes — exports can be used in slides, worksheets, LMS pages, and printed handouts, including for paid courses. Attribution is appreciated but not required.

Do the visualizers work on school Chromebooks, tablets, and phones?

They run in any modern browser with no installation, so managed Chromebooks and iPads work out of the box. Controls are touch-friendly: students drag sliders and points directly on the graph.

What is the difference between Interactive Concepts and the AI diagram generators?

Concepts are hand-built simulations for exploring how a parameter changes a system in real time. The AI diagram generators produce labeled static diagrams (cell structures, flowcharts, cycles) from a text prompt. Use Concepts to teach behavior, and the generators to produce figures for documents.
