Space advent calendar, world’s lightest metal and Syria’s rappers in the News Digest this week

This week’s News Digest is now available: News Digest 27th November – 3rd December 2015

Extend your subject knowledge, ace your University interviews, impress Dr Gardner during debating, talk knowledgeably to your peers and colleagues! All the key news stories you might have missed this week brought to you from a range of reputable sources by the Wellington College Library Team.

My favourite this week is the Royal Institution’s space themed online Advent Calendar – A Place called Space  – it includes animations, infographics and archive footage of early space exploration missions. It’s already proving popular with Physics teachers and I’m looking forward to seeing what the rest of December brings us.

For news junkies you can test your knowledge of the year’s key stories with The Day’s News Mega Quiz

(A number of the links are from our News Bank database and therefore only available to Wellington College pupils and staff)

 

Astronauts, algebra, smarter siblings and quiet entrepreneurs in the Library News Digest this week

Weekly News Digest brought to your inbox every Friday by the Library Team

Here is the latest News Digest – covering stories published from Friday 6th – Thursday 12th November.

This is primarily intended for staff and students at Wellington College, (as an educational and current awareness bulletin) so a number of links to stories on our databases will not be available to the general public.

 Last week’s most popular story was Could humans swim quicker by imitating eels and jellyfish?
