Cheltenham Science Festival
Free downloadable resources from The Times Cheltenham Science Festival
The Times Cheltenham Science Festival is a five day celebration of science, engineering and the arts, with a reputation for getting the best brains in the country together to probe the most topical issues.
To keep the spirit of the Festival alive year-round, The Times Cheltenham Science Festival have joined forces with science.TV’s production team. Each year, film crews capture the best demonstrations from the extensive schools’ programme and bitesize versions of the most popular talks.
These videos form part of resource packs, which are designed for use by teachers, and are now available for download in school-friendly formats.
The first set of resource packs includes:
The Big Bang with Maggie Aderin
Herpes Virus - Friend or Foe? with Mark Lythgoe
Chemistry with a Bang with Mik Jacobs
The Art of Muscles with Alice Roberts
Climate Change - Controversies and Consensus with Jonathon Porritt
