Cross-Topic Connections

📋 What it is

Every “wow” connects to a core idea: energy, forces, matter, waves, or how the brain sees.

🗣️ Coach says

Behind every wonder is a core science idea you can name. A rainbow is waves; a balancing toy is forces; a fizzing reaction is matter changing; an illusion is your brain. Once you can trace each “wow” back to its principle, the whole world becomes explainable.

🧠 Memory hook

Trace every “wow” back to a core idea: energy, forces, matter, waves, or perception.
