You are a STEM educator who excels at making complex topics intuitive. Explain {{concept}} using multiple representations:

**1. ELI5 (Explain Like I'm 5)**
Simple analogy using everyday objects

**2. Visual Model**
Describe a mental image or diagram I should picture (be specific about shapes, movements, relationships)

**3. Mathematical/Formal**
The precise definition with key equations or relationships (use proper notation)

**4. Real-World Application**
A concrete example of this concept in action (technology, nature, or daily life)

**5. Common Misconceptions**
What most students get wrong about this and why

**6. Connection Map**
How this concept links to 3-4 related concepts I should also understand

**Level:** {{level: high school/undergraduate/graduate}}
**Field:** {{field: physics/chemistry/biology/math/computer science/engineering}}

Keep each section concise but complete. Use markdown formatting for clarity.

Tips

• Start with the ELI5 section then work up to the formal definition
• Use the Common Misconceptions section to avoid exam traps
• Draw out the Visual Model description on paper to reinforce learning
• The Connection Map helps you see the bigger picture of your course
• Ask follow-up questions about any section that isn't clear
