This film is from the series Our Greatest Generation available on BBC Teach. The story of how Dorothy Hughes came to be one of the first female Chelsea Pensioners. Dorothy came from a strict but comfortable home. Like many women, Dorothy was attracted by the thought of contributing to the war effort during World War Two. She defied her parents’ wishes for her to become a teacher and joined the army, becoming a gunner helping to shoot down German planes over London. She experienced suspicion and hostility from male gunners before eventually being accepted as an equal. Many years later, after her husband died, Dorothy decided to challenge another male institution, and applied to live at the world famous Royal Hospital Chelsea for retired British soldiers. Teacher Notes This short film could be used as part of an enquiry into the impact of World War Two on British society. Dorothy’s story could be used to help explore how far the war helped advance the role of women in Britain. Pupils could examine why Dorothy’s parents were against her decision to join the army, before considering why more women were needed to support the war effort, and the reaction of some men to the introduction of women into roles which traditionally were carried out by men. It might also be interesting to consider why women were not allowed to become Chelsea Pensioners until 2009.

This film is from the series Shakespeare Unlocked - Julius Caesar available on BBC Teach. Brutus explains to the crowd why the conspirators killed Caesar and then insists they stay to hear Mark Antony. Antony gives an emotional eulogy over the dead body of his friend. Teacher Notes Before watching the scene, ask your students to write down what they know of the characters of Brutus and Mark Antony from the play so far. How far do they see these characters as similar, and how far are they differentiated by Shakespeare? How do they think each character will react to the death of Caesar? Alternatively, you could write snippets from each speech onto cards (e.g. ‘as Caesar lov’d me, I weep for him’, ‘it were a grievous fault, and grievously hath Caesar answered it’), and ask students to try and decide which man is most likely to say each thing about Caesar. Ask students to brainstorm ways to calm down an angry crowd. Ask students to evaluate how effective Brutus’s speech is in excusing his actions.

This film is from the series Wonders of the Universe available on BBC Teach. Professor Brian Cox explains how evidence for the Big Bang can be found by analysing the colour of starlight. Astronomers have found that the further away a star or galaxy is, the redder its light appears. This effect is known as red-shift and it tells us that distant stars are moving away from us. Scientists interpret this as evidence for an expanding universe. Teacher Notes This clip can be used as a starting point to discuss the Big Bang theory. Pupils can discuss and explain how light unlocks the fact that the light is red-shifted when objects are moving away from us in the universe. It can be used to promote discussion to link red-shift with the Big Bang. Curriculum Notes These clips will be relevant for teaching Physics at KS3, GCSE/KS4 and National 4/5 and Higher.

This film is from the series Science Britannica availabel on BBC Teach. Professor Brian Cox outlines the historical context of the era in which Newton began to be interested in the nature of the visible spectrum obtained using a prism. He recreates Newton’s simple experiment that proved that colours were the pure components of white light, rather than being impurities. He explains that Newton observed aspects of the world, came up with theories to explain them and then tested them with experiments. He then looks at Newton’s ‘Principia Mathematica’, before concluding that science is about simplifying the complex world around us, creating controllable and repeatable experiments to test hypotheses, and then transferring understanding to the complex world outside the laboratory. Teacher Notes Before showing this film, ask your students to share and write down in groups what they already know about Sir Isaac Newton.

This film is from the series The Science of a Space Dive available on BBC Teach. In 2012, Austrian dare devil, Felix Baumgartner, performed a record-breaking and historic skydive from the stratosphere to land in New Mexico Baumgartner’s team had to anticipate the risks of falling from high altitude. Their biggest fear was, that as Felix fell, he could become locked in a flat spin and lose consciousness. A flat spin could have been caused by his body becoming aerodynamically unbalanced, sending him into a rotation that he might not be able to escape. If his head was at the centre of the spin, the g-force would pull the blood out of his brain, causing a blackout. If his feet were at the centre of the spin, the blood would pool in his head, causing a red-out or an aneurysm. Teacher Notes The clip could be used to stimulate a discussions about gravity, free fall, air resistance and terminal velocity.

This film is from the series Biology Bites available on BBC Teach. Science presenter, Jon Chase, investigates the effects of temperature, water and oxygen on seed germination. He finds out that seeds germinate best in warm, moist and well-oxygenated conditions. He also looks at the effect fertiliser has on the rate of germination and plant growth. Teacher Notes Students could repeat the experiment seen in this short film using cress seeds. Do the students’ results reflect Jon Chase’s findings? Are temperature, water and oxygen the key factors? The scientist interviewed says that water is the most important factor of the three. The scientist also says that fertilisers (nitrates) speed up germination (as well as plant growth). Does this match your students’ findings? Students could then look at the fertilisation of plants, by placing pollen onto a stigma and observing it grow into a pollen tube.

This film is from the series Gastro Lab available on BBC Teach. Paralympic athlete, Jordanne Whiley, explains why carbohydrates are important in her diet. Meanwhile, Stefan Gates uses a ‘sugar shotgun’ to illustrate how energy is released from food and creates heat. We hear about the difference between complex and simple carbohydrates, their food sources, their function in the body and the energy they release. We are advised to get 55% of our calories from carbohydrate rich foods, particularly complex carbohydrates such as wholegrains, wholemeal bread, rice and potatoes. The links between simple carbohydrates, or sugar, and the risk of tooth decay, heart disease and weight gain are explained. The idea of balancing energy in and energy out is highlighted. Teacher Notes You could ask your students to compare the amount of calories per 100g or per portion found in a selection of carbohydrate-based foods, by examining food labels or using nutritional analysis. These foods could be placed in rank order and evaluated as to which would be the best to eat before a marathon.

Video animations from BBC Teach of some of the best-known Viking Sagas, told in a light-hearted but faithful style. Download the Teachers Notes, then go to the BBC Teach website for the animations, the first of which is available here. The collection begins with the Viking account of how Odin creates the Viking world, before relating tales involving gods and goddesses such Thor, Loki, Freya and Iduna - as well as plenty of goblins and giants!
