You can choose to use the overview lesson – covering all fields – or go into the details with one lesson per field.

The material is based on well established sources, and point to further reading from the prize-awarding institutions. Nobel Prize Lessons are some of many resources offered to teachers within the framework of Nobel Education Network.

Nobel Prize Lessons are reliable and so easy to use, that a teacher can look through the manual, watch the slides, print the texts for students and then start the class.
