How do I write formulas?

In plain text inside the node, such as "Density = mass ÷ volume". Leave out parentheses.

Can students make it on a phone?

Yes. Open the editor in a mobile browser, double-tap a node to edit, and save the picture to the photo library.

Can it look hand-drawn for a poster?

Pick one of the sketch themes. Lines and lettering take on a handwritten look that prints well for classroom walls.

Mind map

Middle school physical science mind map template

A middle school physical science mind map with five strands: matter, motion and forces, energy, waves, and electricity and magnetism, each with core ideas. Use it for unit summaries or test review, then export PNG, SVG, Word or PowerPoint free.

Previewed in the “Indigo” theme; you can switch themes in the editor

When to use it

Use it to pull a year of physical science onto one page before a final test, or after each unit as a summary. Teachers can use it as the board outline for a review lesson.

Make it yours

Add a formula or lab under each idea, such as "Build a series circuit" under Circuits.
For a unit summary, copy one strand into its own map and take it three or four levels deep.
Rename strands to match your curriculum standards.

Draw a middle school physical science mind map with Mermaid mindmap syntax. The root is Physical science, and the main branches are Matter, Motion and forces, Energy, Waves, and Electricity and magnetism, each with three or four core ideas. Put every node on its own line, show levels with space indentation, and do not use list markers or arrows. Output only the mermaid code block.
