The Cassiopeia Project provides free high quality science videos for teachers and students. These videos are free to download. Teachers and students can edit, remix and use these videos in any way that they wish. Whilst the videos are self contained they are hosted with the framework of a larger story that is provided as a supplementary learning activity.
