This film is from the series The Story of China available on BBC Teach. The Taiping Rebellion was mostly a revolt by poor, rural peasants against their rich landlords, inspired by the religious pamphlets of an American missionary. Historian Michael Wood calls it the ‘worst war of the 19th Century’. He explores the background to the revolt - the defeat in the Opium War, and rural poverty. Hong, the leader, spent years in the rural South of China preparing the peasants for rebellion. Initially very successful, Hong, with the support of an army of one hundred thousand, was installed as Emperor in Nanjing. China then had two governments - one traditional, the Qing in Beijing, the other revolutionary, in Nanjing, where the Taiping rebels created a classless society where private property was abolished. Finally, in 1864, aided by Britain and the other western powers, the Qing were able to re-conquer Nanjing, defeating the Taiping Rebellion and reuniting China.

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.
