The London Underground (also
known as the Underground, or by its nickname the Tube) is a public
rapid transit system serving London and some parts of the adjacent
counties of Buckinghamshire, Essex and Hertfordshire in the United
Kingdom.
The Underground has its
origins in the Metropolitan Railway, the world's first underground
railway. Opened in 1863, it is now part of the Circle, Hammersmith &
City and Metropolitan lines; the first line to operate underground
electric traction trains, the City & South London Railway in
1890, is now part of the Northern line. The network has expanded to
11 lines, that collectively hadle approximately 4,8 million
passengers a day. (Source Wikipedia)

The Science Museum is a major museum on
Exhibition Road in South Kensington, London. Opened in 1857, today constitutes one of the city's major tourist attractions. In fact, it
is well worth a visit. Unfortunately it is not always possible.
However, on its webpage a very interesting bank of free online
resources is available for teachers and students.
You can select an age, choose a
subject, and then a topic from the list or browse by the following
categories:
- Hands-on activities and fun challenges.
- Short videos to use in your teaching.
- Online games and websites to motivate
and engage students.
