This website delivers thousands of free academic and educational multimedia content, including videos, animations and simulations. The site’s strengths are in Mathematics and the Sciences, but also cover History, Economics, English and Religion. The videos on the site are aggregated from other American educational collections (including the Khan Academy) and arranged by broad subject areas which are then subdivided into narrower concepts, and laid out on the page in a logical and easy to follow screen display. It is slightly frustrating that there is little contextual information associated with the videos, in the form of descriptions, contributors, and other useful metadata. It is also not possible to click through to view the video on its original home page. Nonetheless, worth visiting for the range and quality of material available.

This site accompanies the PBS series of the same name and constitutes a comprehensive learning resource about evolutionary science for teachers, students and the general public. It is made up of four main components. Firstly there are seven main topics for users to explore which are accompanied by a preview of the relevant episode, together with animations and other interactive material: Darwin; Change; Extinction; Survival; Sex; Humans and Religion. There is also a searchable multimedia library with assets (video, text, web links) organised along lines that correspond to commonly taught topics eg. Natural Selection; Science and Religion. There is a section of Learning Resources for teachers and seven short videos designed to stimulate classroom discussion.

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.

This website - the world’s first virtual 3D fossil collection - is the result of a project led by the British Geological Survey. The database, which is still being populated, aims ultimately to hold records of all macrofossil species and subspecies found in the UK, including links to high resolution 2D photographs, stereo (anaglyph) photographs and a selection of 3D digital models, many of which can be reproduced by 3D printers. Freely available and aimed at researchers, university and school students as well as amateur geologists, the database collects information about invertebrates, bivalves, corals and plants, with plans to expand in the future to dinosaur bones and skeletons. Detailed metadata for each record, including locality, age, taxonomic identification and registration number, means that highly refined searches are possible. A selection of free software packages for viewing and manipulating 3D images can be downloaded here.
