Hidden life of the cell

Go to the BBC iplayer! Watch the Hidden life of the cell and try and recall the fab Ellen McHenry course.

Minute physics

Go to Minute Physics Youtube each day to be introduced to some key ideas that might be helpful to your physics studies.

Astronomy daily

Astronomy for kids site. Probably not your target, Squirrel.

Try Khan Academy instead. Watch their series of lectures in Cosmology and Astronomy.

Click around in Cool Cosmos.

The NASA site is somewhere to go regularly for news.

Let's revisit the Royal Institution.

Youtube is filled with GCSE Astronomy support videos. Set an hour aside to watch a range and find the ones that help you best.

Watch Brian Cox, pin up boy for Physics and Astronomy, give a lecture at Manchester. If you want to go straight to Brian and pass the puffery, go 8 minutes in.

Look out in second hand bookshops for books by Patrick Moore.


...and if you're looking for other things to do...

Check the sky nightly. Record your observations in a notebook.

Re-read the course materials.

Make a cake to teach us one aspect of the week's reading.

Find a word from your reading material that you didn't know before, and write a definition that makes sense to a non-astronomer like me.
