Here
is another link that might eventually land folks on a repository of videos:
or
“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.

Alom,
My
colleague, Jan Stapleton has passed me your email.
Please
see below some information on the IET Faraday for your information…
If
you would like any more information, please use the email address below.

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
