Science and Islam: Resources

The table below gives a guided to the teaching resources that can be downloaded from this web site.

The Introduction Lesson provides a common introduction for any of the subject specific lessons, but any of the lessons can be taught as ‘stand alone’ lessons.

Since the resources are supported by objects from the museum's collection, it is recommended that at least one of the subject lessons is delivered in conjunction with a visit to the museum. For further information about booking these sessions, please contact christopher.parkin@hsm.ox.ac.uk.
