This film is from the series The Eichmann Show available on BBC Teach. Due to the sensitive nature of the subject matter, we strongly advise teacher viewing before watching with your pupils. The televised trial of Adolf Eichmann brought to a global audience many of the previously unknown horrors of the Holocaust. On 11th December 1961, Eichmann, sitting impassive and unemotional, was pronounced guilty of all charges against him and sentenced to death. But how far can responsibility for the Holocaust be attributed to Eichmann? Was it right to blame Eichmann for it all? This short film explores the background to the Nazi paranoia about a Jewish conspiracy to take over Germany and Eichmann’s responsibility for the ‘de-Jewification’ of Germany leading up to World War Two. Historian, Professor David Cesarani examines the evidence, analysing how Eichmann presented himself as hapless, with no choice, following orders, and it was not for him to question the instructions of the ‘big bosses’. However, he eventually gave away his personal hatred for the Jewish people under the pressure of cross-examination. The purpose of BBC’s content is to inform, educate and entertain.

This film is from the series Emmeline Pankhurst and the Suffragettes available on BBC Teach. Sally Lindsay examines the life of the leader of the Suffragettes, Emmeline Pankhurst, and traces the people, places, and events that turned her into the leader of the ‘Votes for Women’ campaign group. Formally known as the Women’s Social and Political Union, the Suffragettes were a national organisation that fought for female voting rights when only men had the vote. In interviews with Emmeline’s descendants and expert historians, Sally learns about Emmeline’s early years in industrial Manchester and discovers more about the people and the political and social events that made her believe votes for women could only be won by military means. Teacher Notes Students could examine a number of different images of Emmeline Pankhurst and be asked to think about what each picture tells them about Emmeline Pankhurst. When watching the video students could answer the following questions: What was Emmeline’s childhood like and what impact did this have on her politically? How did her work as a registrar affect her? What was the WSPU and what was her role in it? Why do you think Emmeline Pankhurst was named the woman of the 20th century? Why is she a significant individual in History? Students could then produce a front cover for TIME magazine or write a short interview with Emmeline Pankhurst. At the end of the lesson students could be asked to consider what three key things have they learnt about her today and what surprised them the most about her life?

This film is from the series Amazing Me available on BBC Teach. What is a burp and a fart, and why do they smell?! Presenter, Zoe Gamble is in class to lead an experiment with effervescent tablets to see the explosive effects of trying to contain carbon dioxide in a small space. CGI graphics demonstrate how bacteria in our gut create gas. Zoe explains how when we eat something, we often swallow gas along with the food, that can come out of the body as a burp. The class deflate an enormous whoopee cushion by jumping on top of it. Teacher Notes Pupils could study bacteria and how there is good and bad bacteria. Bad bacteria can harm the body and good bacteria can help us extract nutrients from our food. Look at how industry uses bacteria to break down waste material such as recycled food, and from sewerage to create power and electricity. Compare the systems to what’s happening within the human body. Pupils could create a poster to illustrate how bacteria can create electricity.

This film is from the series Science of the Harvest available on BBC Teach. Stefan Gates reveals the importance of the cold of winter for the development of summer fruit, through the mysterious process of vernalisation. Using the example of an apple tree, he unpicks how vernalisation actually works. Teacher Notes This film could act as a stimulus for a project about the circadian and annual rhythms of plants. Students could be taught about the way that plants have adapted to their environments. Can students explain why deciduous plants drop their leaves, or pines have needles in place of leaves? Can students identify how plants that live in tropical rainforests are different from those in alpine conditions? The learning in this film could easily be extended to cover the annual cycles of these plants. Students could look at the impact that poor weather has on farming in a more general sense. What implications does global warming have for UK farmers? This may mean more rain as well as higher temperatures. Curriculum Notes This clip will be relevant for teaching Biology/Science at KS3 and KS4/GCSE in England and Wales. Also at Third , Fourth Level, National 4, National 5 and Higher in Scotland. This topic appears in OCR, Edexcel, AQA, WJEC, CCEA and SQA.
