A public learning laboratory, The Exploratorium, is devoted to just that: exploring the world through science, art and human perception. Their mission is ‘to create inquiry-based experiences that transform learning worldwide’ and perhaps more importantly their vision is ‘a world where people think for themselves and can confidently ask questions, question answers, and understand the world around them’. The museum makes available a vast range of, video programmes, organised by subjects, including: Arts (532 videos), Astronomy and Space (220), Biology (331), Chemistry (97), History (35), Mathematics (19), Nature of Science (13), Perception (55), Physics (215), and Social Science (575). There is also a Websites section with over 35, 000 pages of content, which can be explored by subject too.

This Earth Sciences resource was developed by the Open University to broaden access to rock collections previously only available in universities, museums or specialist institutions. The aim is to engage with students at school or in higher education and to help develop identification and classification skills without the need for expensive microscopes or the facilities to prepare thin slices of rock. Users can zoom, pan and rotate specimens in light conditions that mirror those previously only possible using specialist petrological microscopes. The collections include meteorites as well as a news section and a list of teaching resources.

The video channel of the US-based online culture and current affairs magazine Slate. The magazine has a left-leaning bias and its tone is witty, irreverent and informative. For example, the video on FX/digital compositing explains how hidden special effects work in films in a very entertaining way. The Podcasts cover similar ground.

The Association Science & Télévision (AST) is a group of independent producers working for 37 different production companies based in France. These companies produce films in all genres but a large portion of their output is devoted to scientific productions. Together, they produce the vast majority of scientific programming broadcast on television in France, much of which also circulates abroad. The website (in French and English versions) gives details of the member companies and the association’s activities, together with a catalogue of the films they have produced (searchable by title or producer), with links to the producer’s site for further filmographic information.

The Dead Media Project is a database of reports compiled by members of the Project’s mailing list, who contribute information on means of communication that are now obsolete. It is a characteristic of the Project that among the various comments that each posting generates there is often someone who can report that a supposed Dead Medium is still in use somewhere. Nevertheless, the site mostly records the dead and the fantastical: the phenakistoscope, the teleharmonium, Piesse’s Smell Organ, Loutherbourg’s Eidophusikon, Hummel’s Telediagraph, runic tally sticks, Scopitone, pigeon post, pneumatic mail, the whistling networks of the Canary Islands, and numerous moving image and sound devices that are no more. The Dead Media Project has itself been dead since July 2008, but it is worth looking at the pages via the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine to retrieve the information held at that date.

This site presents a selective history of ‘the interaction between technology and the body’. It incorporates automata of the 16th-18th centuries, photographic and cinematographic records of bodies in motion from the late 19th and early 20th centuries (Marey, Muybridge), and contemporary examples of ways in which science is mapping the outer and inner workings of the body, including the Visible Human Project. Previously available at: http://access.tucson.org/~michael/Intro.html, this site is no longer active, but it can be traced by entering the address in the Wayback Machine.
