Interactive visualisations

The universe’s structure and history

Here are pedagogical visualisations about one part of the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics. There is a  3-minute long video to show in the classroom and an interactive visualisation tool with a teacher’s guide. The visualisation tool can be used as a teacher-led lesson, or as an in-depth assignment for individual students. The visualisation tool can be paused and the teacher or the student can add notes in the slideshow with the drawing tool.

 

These visualisations are part of the Nobel Prize Lesson – Physics Prize 2019.
