Science Learning Centres - Christmas related Science

Since it is almost Christmas, I would like to offer a link to some seasonal fun from Science Learning Centres who have blogged 12 Christmas activities in the science classroom on 5th December 2011.

Nobel Prizes & Educational Games

Games can be a really useful tool in education and so today's post is a link to games based on Nobel Prize winning research. The games on the site relate to physics, chemistry, physiology, medicine, literature, peace and economics. You can find these on the official web site of the Nobel Foundation.

In addition to educational games, the nobelprize.org/ website has information for every Nobel Prize since 1901, with biographies, lectures, interviews, photos, articles, video clips and press releases.

Free Video Lectures (Academic Earth)

Academic Earth is "an organization founded with the goal of giving everyone on earth access to a world class education".

Their website (currently in Beta version) provides a wide range of lectures given by some of the top scholars in USA. You can select what you watch by University, Instructor or Subject.
