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 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.

This film is from the series Exploring the Past - Post-War Britain available on BBC Teach. Fifteen-year-old Amba talks to her grandmother about her working life in the 1950s. She left school at 14 and worked in food factories until she married at 17. She returned to work part-time when her child went to school, in order to save up for expensive items such as a fridge, a washing machine and a car. Dr Claire Langhamer from the University of Sussex puts this experience into context, saying that it reflects the experience of many women at the time who worked to earn extra money but saw their main job as a wife and mother. Amba speaks to Patricia Barrett who worked in a bank for 35 years and never wanted to marry. She explains how women were treated differently to men at her bank – they earned less, were put on temporary contracts when they got married and weren’t offered overseas postings. Teacher Notes This could be used to show how women faced restrictions in terms of job opportunities in the post-war period. This could also be used to set up a discussion about laws preventing discrimination against women. Curriculum Notes This short film is relevant for teaching history at Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 / GCSE in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and National 3, 4 and 5 in Scotland. Some of the social issues highlighted could also be relevant for teacher Citizenship, PSHE or Modern Studies. The purpose of BBC’s content is to inform, educate and entertain.

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. Curriculum Notes This short film will be relevant for teaching history at Key Stage 3 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and third and fourth level in Scotland.
