Abstract
This chapter comprises integrative studies on selected processes, events, and related technologies associated with several science categories. Learning projects are designed around themes drawn from events existing in everyday life, yet they familiarize the readers with complex disciplines and their applications. Complexity of apparently simple topics is presented in projects about familiar objects or actions. They are aimed at broadening the readers' general knowledge and experience rather than the technical or professional training. Topics and projects present nature- and science-related themes in terms of concept visualization including selected subjects pertaining to the basic sciences such physics, chemistry, biology, geography, or biology-inspired computing and modeling. The reader is encouraged to approach learning holistically and present concepts by creating technology based projects about visual presentation of information.
