Christmas Lectures

Did you know there are traditional Christmas lectures in science?  This link is a slideshow with holiday lectures.  Christmas lectures were once an English tradition.  One famous example is Michael Faraday’s Lecture about a candle.  (Here is an ebook with six Faraday lectures and activities, along with explanations.  Here is the first lecture in the series on YouTube.). Dr. Shakhashiri has some of his videos on his website.  The Christmas videos are demonstrations, usually titled Once Upon a Christmas Cheery in the Lab of Shakhashiri.  Here, along with projects is Festive Chemistry, A Holiday Chem Lab.  Add a video to your science crafts.
