This film is from the series Your World available on BBC Teach. A lively exploration of two children’s lives on opposite sides of the world. Talia, 9, from Mossley, Greater Manchester tells us what it’s like to live in a town that experiences all weather types but where the weather is generally quite mild. She explains that what she likes to do depends on what it’s like outside: playing the piano when it rains and having snowball fights when it snows. In contrast, Khynaan, 9, from Townsville, Australia, goes to the beach on Christmas day and wears sunscreen all year round. During cyclone season, his family takes various precautions, taping up the windows and staying inside. Talia’s family also have to take weather related precautions, using pots and pan to catch the water coming through a leaky roof. As well as the weather, we learn what it’s like to live where they do and how it affects their aspirations, their hobbies, the food they eat, the wildlife they encounter and why, for very different reasons, they both want to stay living in the same place when they’re older. Together they illustrate the cultural and geographical differences and similarities of these two distinct places. The purpose of BBC’s content is to inform, educate and entertain.

This film is taken from The Story of World War One with Jeremy Paxman available on BBC Teach. Jeremy Paxman visits the Royal Gunpowder Mills in Essex to tell us about the million women who were employed in making munitions during World War One, and the dangers they faced from explosions and exposure to chemicals.

We see archive footage of the millions of British women who entered the workforce during World War One, taking part in a social revolution by making munitions and replacing absent men in their jobs.

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.

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?

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.
