Nobel Prize Lessons are reliable and so easy to use, that a teacher can look through the manual, watch the slides, print the texts for students and then start the class. The material is based on well established sources, and point to further reading from the prize-awarding institutions. You can choose to use the overview lesson – covering all fields – or go into the details with one lesson per field.
The first resource on offer is lesson material on the 2017 Nobel Prizes. The lessons are published within 24 hours of the announcement of each new Nobel Prize.
