This film is from the series My Life, My Religion - Sikhism available on BBC Teach. Simran describes how the Sikh faith was started by Guru Nanak over five hundred years ago in the Punjab region of India. She explains that Sikhs call God ‘Waheguru’ and when they pray they believe their prayers are heard in the heavenly court. When she was 7, Simran visited The Golden Temple, also known as ‘Harimandir Sahib’, in Amritsar, north India. She describes what a significant experience this was for her. She outlines how equality of all people is an important part of the Sikh religion. We visit a Gurdwara, or temple, where this belief in equality is expressed in all kinds of ways - everyone does the washing up, everyone is encouraged to volunteer and all people sit and eat together at the Gurdwara kitchen, called the Langar. Simran also talks about the Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh scripture. She says it is unusual among holy texts because as well as containing the teachings of the Ten Sikh Gurus, some of it was written by Muslims and some by Hindus. No human Guru is needed today as the Guru Granth Sahib is the ‘eternal teacher’. The purpose of BBC’s content is to inform, educate and entertain.

This film is from the series Shakespeare in Shorts available on BBC Teach. An animated retelling of William Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” set to modern music. The twins Viola and Sebastian are separated in a shipwreck. Fearing that Sebastian is dead, Viola disguises herself as a boy, calls herself Cesario, and takes up service with Duke Orsino. She falls in love with Orsino but cannot do anything about it because of her disguise. She also discovers that Orsino has fallen in love with Olivia but, following the death of her brother, she rejects him. Orsino sends Viola to Olivia to try and win her round but, thinking Viola is a boy, Olivia falls in love with him. Meanwhile Olivia’s steward, Malvolio, is trying to keep order in the house but her uncle Sir Toby Belch and his friends have other ideas. They convince Malvolio that Olivia is in love with him and make him look extremely foolish – Olivia thinks her servant has actually gone mad. When she sees Sebastian, who has survived the shipwreck, she naturally thinks he is Cesario and promptly marries him. Orsino is furious when he finds out but, once Viola and Sebastian meet and reveal their true identities, there is a happy ending – for everyone but poor Malvolio.

This film is from the series Blue Planet Live available on BBC Teach. Over the last century, numbers of South African penguins have declined by 90%. Over-fishing and climate change have caused their prey to moved hundreds of miles from their breeding colonies, too far for adult penguins to hunt and return to the nesting chicks. To help, local scientists have come up with a plan to create a new colony of penguins using fake models to attract the real penguins to a new feeding ground.

This film is from the series Scientists and the Scientific Method available on BBC Teach. This film shows how Nicolaus Copernicus - an early astronomer, scientist and priest in Poland - discovered that the sun was at the centre of the solar system. This theory is known as the heliocentric model of the solar system. It was controversial at the time because the accepted wisdom (supported by the church) was that the Earth was at the centre of the universe. In this vlog style film, Nicolas Copernicus compares his ideas with those of Aristotle and Ptolemy, whose celestial model placed a stationary Earth at the centre of the solar system, with the sun and other planets in its orbit. Teacher Notes As a starter to introduce a practical science activity, you could write a simple quiz to encourage pupils to capture the keywords shown in the video. Pupils can write their own definitions from these words using the internet or science dictionaries to improve their scientific vocabulary. To consolidate their knowledge, pupils could make booklets that include key information about the work of Nicolaus Copernicus. They could define the keywords featured in the film, and find five or more pieces of additional pieces of information about the work of the Nicolas Copernicus using books, encyclopedias or the internet. Curriculum Notes Suitable for teaching Science at Key Stage 2 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and at 2nd Level in Scotland. The film also has cross-curricular links with History and Literacy.

This film is from the series Life Lessons available on BBC Teach. We look at reproduction in various plants and animals using beautiful wildlife footage and summary graphics. The giant Amazonian water lily is the first example of reproduction with the fascinating way it traps insects. We see the reproductive parts of a flower, both male and female, accompanied by a brief description of the function of each. Moving on to the animal kingdom, an elephant is used as an example of internal fertilisation, followed by some more unusual examples such as a seahorse. Teacher Notes Key Stage 2 The graphical representations of the parts of a flower could be teamed up with a lesson on dissecting a lily. Lilies are easy to dissect using scissors or a scalpel if appropriate and the reproductive organs are very clear to see. For students of higher ability the differences between external and internal fertilisation could be introduced. This is usually discussed at KS3 but could be suitable for students who are capable of understanding. Key Stage 3 Suitable for use as a key stage 3 introduction to internal reproduction and plant reproduction.

This film is from the series The Great British Year available on BBC Teach. When spring arrives, male birds start singing to attract a partner and to tell other male birds to keep away. Once the male bird finds a female partner they start to build a nest. Different types of birds use different materials including twigs, straw, moss, spider web and feathers. While many children are hunting for chocolate eggs at Easter, the female birds are busy laying eggs and sitting on the nest. The eggs must be kept warm for the chicks to grow. The birds must stay with the nest even during cold and wet weather. The baby birds hatch at just the right time, when there is lots of food for them to eat. The blue tit catches the caterpillars that are eating the new leaves sprouting on the trees. Teacher Notes The film could be used to start a discussion on what birds do to ensure their eggs hatch and baby birds grow. Pupils could role play the different jobs the birds have to do in the right order - from singing and nest building in early spring to sitting on eggs and feeding the baby birds in the late spring.

This film is from the series Making the News available on BBC Teach. Tina Daheley looks at what fake news is and gives students a guide to determining which stories are fake and which can be relied on. She talks to Megha Mohan, a senior broadcast journalist from BBC News, who helps her separate genuine and fake news. They show how deliberately misleading stories are often presented as real news stories and unpick some of the reasons why fake news exists. The main drivers of money-making, influencing readers’ opinions and satire are explored with a look at stories about high profile people. Several examples of stories that appear to be from trusted sources are shown and the problems with these stories are discussed. They then look at some of the fake news stories that appeared around the time of the 2016 US presidential election campaign that were shared on social media. They discuss how features of genuine news stories are used in fake news, such as headlines, photos, and the names of news providers. Advice is given about searching online for the news providers and finding an example of the same news story on a credible news site. Fake news can be convincing and Daheley explores how we can avoid being lured in by false stories. A group of young people are shown a sequence of fake and real news stories and they attempt to sort them. They discuss the importance of logos, trusted news sources, bias and language. The young people also talk about the trustworthiness of news stories and fact checking and how the use of quotations and opinions can make a story seem more convincing.

This film is from the series The Brain Lab available on BBC Teach. The film talks about what happens in our brains when we feel strong emotions such as anxiety, fear and anger. Clinical psychologist Dr Hazel Harrison uses an analogy of the brain being like a house, with different types of people living on each floor, to explain what is happening in our brains when we feel strong emotions. Through animation, we see what happens in our brains when these emotions take over and we ‘flip our lids’. She talks us through how we can carry out some practical exercises to help ‘get our lids back on’ so that we can connect with our thinking brain and make sensible decisions. ‘Flipping the lid’ is a concept based on the work of Dr Dan Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson.

This film is from the series Growth Mindset available on BBC Teach. Meesha and Lucas are in a maths lesson. Meesha is happy to take on the challenges set by the teacher, but Lucas is more reluctant. Meesha has a growth mindset. She believes intelligence, talent and ability are open to change. So she believes she can get better at maths. This means she tries, puts in effort and works hard to master the learning. Lucas has a fixed mindset. He doesn’t believe he can get better at maths. He thinks you’re either good at maths or your not. And he is definitely not good at maths. Lucas and Meesha make different decisions about their learning because of their different mindsets. As time goes on, Meesha and Lucas talk. Meesha explains that you can change your mindset - and she encourages Lucas to do this. Gradually, Lucas starts to think in a different way. He starts to think that he can do maths, that he can get better. As he changes his mindset, so Lucas changes his behaviour. He starts to have a go, to keep trying and to persist. We see him improve his maths skills as a result. Meesha and Lucas demonstrate the differences between a growth mindset and a fixed mindset.

This films is from the series 100 Years of the Women’s Movement available on BBC Teach. Radio 1 DJ Gemma Cairney traces the history of the women’s movement in Britain and discovers how women fought for equality in the workplace. Gemma meets a one hundred-year-old woman who describes how work opportunities have changed for women over her lifetime. In World War One and World War Two women did men’s jobs. Women were not paid the same as men. In 1968 women working in the Ford Dagenham car factory went on strike for equal pay and to be classed as skilled workers. Gemma meets two women who took part in the Dagenham strike. The Equal Pay Act was passed in 1970 and Gemma asks if women today are equal at work with men. Teacher Notes Give students a series photographs of women over the last 70 years (including suffragettes, CND protestors, Women’s Lib activists and suited businesswomen) and ask what we can deduce about these women. Students should then be divided into groups to research one of the women in their photograph. Place the information gathered on a timeline of change. Students should consider how far attitudes have changed towards these women in their research. Curriculum Notes This clip will be relevant for teaching History.
