Sine and Cosine Around the Unit Circle

This animation tracks a point moving around the unit circle from 0° to 360° while simultaneously plotting the sine and cosine values on a cartesian graph. Students see how the x and y coordinates of the rotating point become the cosine and sine curves, making the connection between circular motion and wave-like graphs clear. Useful for early secondary students learning the basics of trigonometric ratios and their periodic behavior.
