Science movies!

From Rincón Educativo we want to show you a selection of historical films about science, most of them are biographical films of eminent scientists, in which their discoveries and the historical moment in which they were developed are narrated.

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, and surely students would rather learn while watching a movie than receiving a master class. Why not change the format of the class for a day?

Without further ado…we present to you our selection of scientific films!
