A film guide that looks at First Man (2018), exploring its key topics and themes through informal discussion.

Brought to you by Into Film and Paramount Pictures UK, Wonder Park: Imagination and Invention is a cross-curricular educational resource for use with learners aged 7 to 11. The resource challenges learners to become designers and engineers, planning and constructing theme park rides that not only demonstrate a scientific understanding of forces, but that also develop an understanding of environmental awareness and the impact of theme parks upon the ecosystem. Developed with support from the Royal Academy of Engineering, this resource combines curriculum skills from science, design and technology, maths, PSHE education, art and design and literacy/English. Pupils will develop engineering skills through the practical experience of ‘tinkering’, improving problem solving, developing resilience, drawing on a range of skills from different curricular areas, and being rewarded for curiosity and creativity. This exciting series of lessons also develops mindfulness skills and concludes with pupils constructing and showcasing their own theme park as a class, in addition to completing homework tasks that promote independence and ecological awareness.

This lesson, assembly and active viewing guide will inspire young people aged 11–14 to consider a positive future though STEM by using the film Hidden Figures and EDF Energy’s Pretty Curious programme activities to unlock their potential. The science lesson helps students to develop their understanding of investigations and fair testing, and gather data that is valid and reliable. Students must use their understanding of forces acting on a glider to make a prediction that they will test in a hands-on investigation, concluding with an evaluation of their results. It is comprised of a teachers’ notes document, activity sheets and a PowerPoint presentation with embedded clips from the film. It is spilt into seven parts, based on the flight of a rocket, and is to be completed over a double lesson period, or in a few Into Film Clubs or STEM clubs. Hidden Figures is working with EDF Energy’s Pretty Curious programme with the aim to inspire 2 million teenage girls and boys to consider a future through STEM. This film is now available to stream free at Into Film+ https://www.intofilm.org/films/18858

Big Picture Project gives young people a unique perspective on our beautiful and changing Earth, through the eyes of an astronaut. The STEM project, which has at its heart the breathtaking new IMAX® film, A Beautiful Planet, empowers them to see that small actions in their everyday lives have maximum impact when we all work together to instigate positive behavioural change. Students are tasked by an astronaut to carry out scientific experiments and research into everyday water, waste and travel habits, and then apply an 'IMAX® Scale Tool' to assess the huge potential impact for change in their school, their country and across the UK. The resource is suitable for educators of young people aged 7-14 and includes: environmental case studies; fun facts about the Earth and life aboard the International Space Station; three lesson plans with PowerPoint presentations and activity sheets; an editable certificate and more. Showing in selected IMAX® screens from Friday 27th May. These resources were created in partnership between Into Film, SUPER and IMAX®.
