Science Concept Map
One map for science concepts that branch into physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science.
A project built directly by Ted TH Lee.
Why I built it
Science is split into subjects, but the concepts connect across those boundaries. I wanted to show those links on a single map — the science version of the Math Concept Map.
What it does
- Connects concepts that branch into the four subjects in the 2022 integrated-science curriculum.
- Visualizes cross-subject concept links.
- View the map several ways — flow, by grade, radial.
- Cross-checked the validity of the links against the curriculum.
Who it's for
Students who want to grasp the big picture of science
How it was built
Physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science are separated as subjects, but their concepts cross those boundaries. This is an extension of the Math Concept Map that makes the larger path through Korea's 2022 integrated-science curriculum visible in one place.
The work prioritised whether the links were sound, not merely how many labels could fit on a screen. After cross-checking them against the curriculum, the same map can be read as a flow, by grade, or radially.
How you use it
Choose a view
Start with the flow, grade, or radial view that best suits the question at hand.
Follow connections across subjects
See how concepts from physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science connect on the same map.

Place a concept learned in one subject within the broader integrated-science path.
Questions
- What does the map cover?
- It covers concepts from Korea's 2022 integrated-science curriculum as they branch into physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science.
- How were the links checked?
- The validity of the concept connections was cross-checked against the curriculum.
- Can I change how the map is viewed?
- Yes. The map has flow, grade, and radial views.
