“Discoveries and Breakthroughs Inside Science” Videos

 

 

“Produced by the American Institute of Physics and supported by a coalition of science, engineering, and mathematical societies, including IEEE-USA, “Discoveries and Breakthroughs” promotes awareness of and appreciation for scientists' and engineers' roles in everyday life.”

 

There is even a slot where you can suggest your own story ideas.

The IET Faraday

 

The IET Faraday informs young people about the world of science, engineering and technology, and maths (STEM), and inspires them to become involved in it. The engagement of young people and teachers is through a programme of specially made films, student challenges, live events and teaching resources. Resource materials are available free to all schools via the website. Students can enter the competition and compete for fantastic prizes. There is also the opportunity for schools to take part in action packed challenge days around the country.

 

Winners from the regional events will be chosen to attend the IET Faraday Challenge Final to select the ‘Faraday team of the year’ award. This will be held at the Big Bang in Manchester, during National Science and Engineering Week.

 

Every year, the IET Faraday explores different aspects of science and engineering to highlight the diversity and excitement of this high technology profession. In 2009/10 the theme is ‘Lifestyle’. Inspiring role models will reinforce the image of engineering as a worthwhile, interesting and varied career choice, while highlighting its vital contribution to society.

Subject: [PSCI-COM] Web videos for teaching

 

Hello all,

 

I am a science teacher at a secondary school.

 

I am trying to compile a list of freely available web based videos that could be used to help

teach science at KS3 and KS4. I am looking for short videos that could be used to teach

particular aspects of the curriculum, for example an animation of nuclear fission or an

explanation of why current is conserved in a circuit. Additionally, I am looking for videos

that could be used to initiate discussion or debate around a KS3 / KS4 science topic. I'd be

grateful for any links you can send me.

 

If you are a science teacher, I'd like to talk to you about your experiences of using the web

to find videos for use in the classroom, so please get in touch.

 

Thanks,

 

Alom Shaha
