Chaotic phenomena are not part of standard curricula, although this subject offers several interesting aspects which can help students better understand basic features of science. A central observation is that even simple physical systems, if chaotic, are unpredictable, just like the weather. We present the principles applied when developing a freely available short interactive material and outline the material itself. By the means of this material students can become acquainted with the elements of chaos science and also learn that the regular motions taught in physics lessons are the exceptions rather than the rule since a slight modification of the set-up (e.g. letting the suspension point of a pendulum move periodically) converts the motion to chaotic. The material can be used in both classroom and online teaching.

混沌现象不是标准课程的一部分，尽管该科目提供了几个有趣的方面，可以帮助学生更好地理解科学的基本特征。一个中心观察是，即使是简单的物理系统，如果是混乱的，也是不可预测的，就像天气一样。我们介绍了开发免费提供的简短互动材料时所应用的原则，并概述了材料本身。通过这些材料，学生可以熟悉混沌科学的元素，并了解到物理课中教授的规则运动是例外而不是规则，因为设置稍有修改（例如让悬浮点钟摆周期性移动）将运动转换为混沌。该材料可用于课堂和在线教学。
