Kingdom of Plants with David Attenborough
WATCH:Who doesn't adore Sir David Attenborough? The iconic naturalist arrives on the iPad with an absorbing app to coincide with the release of his new series of the same name. There are some amazing time-lapse videos of plants growing, unfurling and doing their thing as well as 45 minutes of other video footage, interactive diagrams and maps. Watch the night flowering cactus as it blooms.

Tutorial Mozilla Webmaker
TUTORIAL:The organisation behind the Firefox web browser has launched a new initiative called Webmaker. This is designed to help educate people about the code behind the web, so they go from being web users to creators. With a suite of tools and a bunch of tutorials provided there will also be a big event called the Summer Code Party, which kicks off on June 23rd. If you're a techie, you can organise and run events in your locality.

LH Collider in the style of Leonardo da Vinci
DRAWINGS:A unique interpretation of Cern's high-energy particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider. This is a series of beautiful drawings sketched in the style of Leonardo da Vinci (below), but they are drawn by research physicist Dr Sergio Cittolin. In place of da Vinci's intricate sketches of dissected body parts, Cittolin has cloven in two the LHC, showing us what lies beneath. There are 22 images in total. Beautiful yet tongue in cheek.
