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.

BirdLife groups together over 120 organisations worldwide that strive to conserve birds, their habitats and global biodiversity. Their website includes a Data Zone section which presents a wealth of scientific data on the world’s bird species and the sites critical to their conservation. This information can be easily viewed at national and territorial level using the Country Profiles searching capabilities; there is also a Case Studies section, and a Seabird Tracking Database, which contains the largest collection of seabird data in the world. This data can be searched and viewed within the site, but access to the actual data is restricted.

List of documentary and drama films chosen for their potential use in teaching and exploring aspects of biomedical ethics. The films are arranged according to a variety of topics from Abortion to Xenotransplantation: other subjects include Cloning, Eugenics, Embryology and Organ Trafficking. Information about each film is limited to year and country of production, duration and production company. The aspects of the film most pertinent to the subject are highlighted in a summary. There is no moving image content but some of the records provide links to other sites. The site is hosted by the Scottish Council on Human Bioethics.

Website created by Chris Willmott at the University of Leicester as a resource for lecturers and students of bioscience in Higher Education. The main aim of biologyonthebox is to share suggestions for the use of television in teaching Biology. The only constraint is that the programmes suggested must be available in Box of Broadcasts (Bob). The site is clearly laid out and easy to navigate. A helpful list of categories, from Agriculture and Bioethics to Virology and Zoology helps users navigate the resource. Each entry features a url to the programme on BoB along with information about the programme and suggestions on how to use it in teaching.

94 Elements is a global filmmaking project, exploring our lives through the lens of the elements. Users can submit their own films dedicated to Elements (so far there are five) and Compounds. The next stage of the project will use live data from across the web to "create a range of interactive tools and visualisations exploring our use and exploitation of the elements".

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.

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.
