Understanding complex systems (CSs) is an important skill in science education that is characterised by the ability to interrelate multiple scales of information. Visualisations play a significant role in supporting this cognitive skill by externalising these complex relationships into a perceptible form. This dissertation investigated how to optimally design visualisations to support student understanding of the renal system (the example CS) through four user studies and two iterations of a functional prototype visualization.
