As part of their Transition Metal Chemistry module, our second-year students were tasked with creating a 5-minute educational video on any Nobel prize-winning area of inorganic chemistry. Working in their tutorial groups, our students created videos that would be entertaining, engaging and informative for an audience of A-level students.

As we see each year, all groups produced very high-quality educational videos. A selection of the very best videos from the past 3 years are showcased below.

If you found these videos informative and interesting, please do pass them on to any schools, colleges or students who might also enjoy them.

Have a question about the project? Get in touch, we'd love to hear from you.
