The brainchild of a retired physics teacher, the Cassiopeia Project aims to make high definition science videos freely available to ‘anyone who wants them’. The videos are broadly divided into subject areas, including Biology, Chemistry and Physics., with a particular focus on space science and astronomy, and include a series of videos on relativity. The videos are all self-contained but also work as a narrative sequence and are embedded in a ‘science fiction/romance’ story, intended to give structure to the collection and to help teachers and educators with lesson planning. The videos can be downloaded as M4V files, in HD or standard definition and users are free to edit and repurpose the clips as they see fit. Full transcripts of each episode are also available to download.

This popular American radio programme about science and philosophy is aimed at an audience of general listeners and is characterised by its innovative sound design. Each podcast takes a broad theme, such as Parasites, Placebo or Games and takes an exploratory, associative approach to the subject, aiming to stimulate curiosity rather than reach a definitive conclusion about the chosen topic. Each show is divided into several parts, featuring interviews with experts and occasional ventures into audience participation and ‘thought experiments’. The programme’s host Jad Abumrad is a trained musician and his background as a composer is evident in the podcast’s approach to sound, where music, speech and effects overlap, forming an integral part of the programme’s experimental, freewheeling ethos.

The English version of this Portuguese site (A Quimica das Coisas) aims to show the chemistry at work in daily life and how scientific developments contribute to the welfare of society. Each episode sees presenter Claudia Semedo talking about an everyday object - such as Post-It notes - from the point of view of what makes it interesting, chemically speaking. The site is an initiative of the Chemistry Department of the University of Aveiro and aims to communicate the importance of chemistry to the general public. The English version has subtitles and transcripts in English.

This German website (with subtitles in English) consists of a series of video interviews with women scientists about their careers, lives and experiences with science. Each video takes as its starting point an object which is significant in some way to the women’s life as a scientist - an old sofa, a begonia, a fragment of rock - and then proceeds from there. This anecdotal approach makes for a fascinating and revealing series of interviews, in which these women talk about what motivates and drives them as they talk about how they balance the demands of career and personal life.

At the heart of this resource is a video library of over fifty maths and science lessons. Led by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in collaboration with a number of international partners, the videos are freely available to stream or download in Quicktime or MPEG 4. DVD and VHS copies can also be ordered. Each lesson consists of video segments, a detailed summary, downloadable teachers’ guides and handouts, a transcript and links to additional relevant online resources. A number of the videos also have voiceovers and subtitles in Portuguese and Arabic. The lessons are organised according to topic and cover Mathematics; Engineering; Physics; Biology and Chemistry. A video introduction by MIT Professor Richard C. Larson, presents an overview of the project.

Series of short films by video journalist Brady Haran, who interviews scientists and researchers from Nottingham Trent University about the men and women who have inspired them. The answers range from familiar names such as Rosalind Franklin, Alan Turing and Charles Darwin, to less well-known figures and even - in the form of Star Trek’s Mister Spock - fictional inspirations.

The official website of the Nobel Prize includes audio and video material of interviews, lectures and speeches by Nobel Laureates as well as biographical information, transcripts of speeches and links to other resources. The audiovisual material is scattered across the site rather than organised as a single resource, which can be frustrating, but there are riches here if one takes the time to seek them out. Noteworthy examples include this excerpt from Polish poet Czeslaw Milosz’s Nobel lecture, from December 1980, and a video recording of Martin Luther King’s acceptance speech on being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964.
