Rush Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Dear all, Please share your resources (books, youtube channels, documentaries, and etc) with me. My kid is so fascinated and curious about this topic and wants to know everything about it. So far we didn't have anything serious, just a few documentaries and enormous amount of library books. Thanks :001_smile: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingeborg Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 (edited) You did not specify the age and what you've already read / watched... so i'll just offer a couple of random suggestions: Books about George by Lucy and Stephen Hawking (like "George's Secret Key to the Universe" and the others from the series). Documentaries by Brian Cox (e.g. "Wonders of the Universe", "Wonders of the Solar System") "A Black Hole is Not a Hole" by Carolyn DeCristofano.

SeaConquest Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Sacha is enrolled in this Outschool course, which is starting soon. It might be of interest to your boys. He is doing it asynchronously, as the time doesn't work for us. https://outschool.com/classes/space-science-astrophysics-to-exobiology-y3b01R2b?sectionUid=31e64c37-ba16-4e48-8b3c-4e423f7c0d38&ruid=231fcfaf-71a2-4f9d-a4ae-b949d51f31dc&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 You might check out The Great Courses Plus and see if you think any of the lecture series there will work and then get a subscription. I cancelled my subscription for a bit as it wasn't being watched right now so I can't check, but they did have a series by Neil deGrasse Tyson that was good. I seem to remember a couple of others on Cosmology at one point, but I'm not sure if they were on GCP or if they were in a GC catalogue. Thanks. DS had already asked to pay him an year subscription of The Great Courses Plus and I've put it in the list. Maybe we will pay it for them as an Easter present :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
