The Geological Society have created this useful resource, which is aimed principally at UK science and geography students aged 14-16 (Key Stage 4), and their teachers but it may of interest to others too. The home page is a world map, through which users can view the Earth’s tectonic plates, different types of plate boundary, and the distribution of volcanoes and earthquakes. The site features a nice mixture of videos, maps and animations, with clear explanations of concepts and processes, and a quiz, glossary and Teachers’ Zone.

GEOSET (Global Educational Outreach for Science, Engineering and Technology) is a freely accessible, searchable internet gateway to a selection of SET and related educational materials. Most of the videos take the form of ‘concept modules’ - rather than whole lectures or courses - focused on specific topics, in the form of split-screen presentations, in which the video of the presenter is in one window and the educational material synchronised and presented in a second window. GEOSET also links to other major sources of educational material such as at the Vega archive site and the Royal Society. Users can filter by age suitability, type of video, and subject.

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.

This organisation, based at the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) in Seattle, undertakes research to devise faster, more accurate ways of forecasting tsunamis, predict the effect of their impact on coastal communities and develop detection technology. Their website features a number of model animations of actual and simulated tsunami events. There is also a link to a YouTube and teaching videos and other educational resources.

Based in the West Midlands, this charity aims to enable rural and disadvantaged communities to participate in creative media activities and, in their own words, ‘create high quality film, photography, web, and print resources, that reflect diverse rural communities and issues, and challenge stereotypes and prejudice.' The website provides access to many of their films (click here) as well as detailed information on their diverse activites aimed at engaging with young people and local communities. They also run media skills courses specifically aimed at the Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities as part of a Big Lottery-funded scheme.

ChronoZoom is an open source, community collaboration between UC Berkeley, Moscow State University, and Microsoft Research that aims to cover - literally - life, the universe and everything, from the Big Bang to the present day. Visually stunning, if potentially overwhelming, Chronozoom works dynamically, based as it is on zoomable interactive timelines, to create a visual sense of the immensity of time - 13.7 billion years of "big history" - in a way that would be impossible in a static timeline. Still in its early stages at present, the site is limited to timelines and exhibits, but as geologist Walter Alvarez explains in the introductory video, further content will be developed in the future. Given the project’s ambitions, it is unsurprising that navigating the site can prove initially somewhat disorienting, but patient users will be rewarded with a powerful sense of the true scale of time over cosmic, geological, biological and social periods.

The Visualizations page of this website, which is hosted by the Geoscience Faculty at Carleton College, features links to a number of selected 3D animations and films on specific topics within structural geology, including orogeny, uplift and erosion, maps and mapping, isostasy and stress and strain. The Sandbox Movies page features animated sandbox experiments used to visualize structural processes such as faulting and mountain building.

This website brings together news of the latest science research from universities in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and the USA. There are four main categories: Earth and the Environment; Health & Medicine; Science & Technology and Society & Culture. Most of the news consists of articles illustrated with still photographs but some moving imagery is used, as in this article which looks at how quickly can glaciers grow (and melt)?, using a study of the prehistoric activity of Baffin Island’s glaciers with a view to developing accurate models to predict how climate change in the future will affect glaciers and ice sheets.

One of the internet’s primary science web portals featuring articles and videos on a wide spectrum of scientific subjects including mathematics, physics, chemistry, astronomy, computer science and biology as well as geology, palaeontology and archaeology. The articles and accompanying audiovisual material are selected from news releases submitted by universities and other research institutions and some are written by Science Daily staff. The large amount of material on offer can make browsing daunting, but subjects are divided into nine broad categories, which are then further divided into sets of narrower terms to facilitate focused searching.

This section of the New Scientist journal’s website features an ever-changing collection of short video clips relating to blog news posts. Organised by scientific area, but also sections on illusions and time-lapse footage, and two series of one-minute animated films giving simple explanations of difficult concepts in physics and maths.
