This film is from the series i.am Will Shakespeare available on BBC Teach. Ricky Boleto and Leah Gooding visit Shakespeare’s Globe, the reconstruction of the London theatre which Shakespeare himself helped to finance when it was built in 1599. They learn that, just like today, Elizabethan audiences wanted to be amazed by special effects: for example, magical appearances and disappearances of ghosts and devils using trapdoors hidden in the stage; or Titania, Queen of the Fairies, descending magically from the stage ceiling. They also find out about Shakespeare’s audience – from the groundlings or penny stinkards who stood in the area called the pit, to the rich who sat in special decorated boxes. We also find out that women didn’t act in Shakespeare’s time and that all the female parts were played by men – to find out how, Ricky is transformed into a Tudor woman! With contributions from Michael Rosen, Farah Karim-Copper, Callum Coates and Patrick Spottiswoode. Teacher Notes Pupils could investigate the popular pastimes for adults and children during the Tudor period. How doe these compare to the pastimes of today? They could choose one to have a go at. As suggested in the clip, students could design a theatre from Shakespeare’s time and devise special effects that would excite audiences. Curriculum Notes This clip will be relevant for teaching English at KS2 in England and Wales, KS1/KS2 in Northern Ireland and 2nd Level in Scotland.

This film is from the series My Life, My Religion - Christianity available on BBC Teach. Nathan, 11, and Lara, 13, tell us about Christian celebrations on Good Friday and Easter Day. They show us some of the differences and similarities between Roman Catholic and Anglican celebrations. The festival of Easter is central to Christian belief because it is the day of the resurrection day - when Jesus was raised from the grave. This is why Christians believe in life after death. Teacher Notes Pupils could watch the clip and point out the different actions and objects that have a meaning - are symbols for Easter, for Jesus or for Christian beliefs. Often a symbol works as a reminder of a part of the story. Give pupils this list of 5 symbols they will see in the clip. What does each one stand for, or link to? What reminders do these symbols provide of the stories of Jesus at the first Easter? 1: The fire burning on Easter morning 2: Touching the stone where Jesus fell 3: Hot cross buns 4: Easter eggs 5: Chickens born from the egg Pupils could share their ideas. Symbolic meaning is often rich and complex so building up a picture of a range of meanings is good. The meanings might be illustrated in a display of photos of key objects or printed stills from the film around which pupils’ suggestions of meaning could be displayed in ‘think bubbles’.

This film is from the series Infested! Living with parasites available on BBC Teach. PLEASE NOTE: THIS SHORT FILM CONTAINS DISTURBING SCENES AND TEACHER REVIEW IS RECOMMENDED PRIOR TO USE IN CLASS. In this short film Dr Michael Mosley visits a ‘delousing salon’ in London to collect live head lice. Delousing salons use a vacuum cleaner with a special attachment to collect the ten to twenty lice that an infected person typically has. Michael Mosley infects himself and visits the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. Here, he looks at the lice sucking his blood using a handheld microscope. The speed of the lice moving over his arms is amazing. The co-evolution of these organisms with humans is also described. Teacher Notes This short film could provide an interesting introduction to the topic of parasitism (and mutualism). This could lead to studying the effects of parasites on humans or other organisms (including plants). This could also introduce the topic of co-evolution (humans and body lice).

This film is from the series The Imagineers available on BBC Teach. Fran Scott meets Dr Eleanor Stride from the University of Oxford who is working on using nano-bubbles to deliver drugs to specific parts of the human body. Dr Stride explains that cancer drugs are poisonous and have many side effects. Her research uses microscopic bubbles of gas coated with a special shell containing these drugs which are then injected into the patient’s blood. More than half of the drugs we develop are too poisonous to work. Using nano-bubbles means a much smaller dose is required and so this technology may allow us to use more drugs in the future. Teacher Notes This clip could be shown as an example of how a basic product (chemotherapy drugs) can undergo significant change through concentrating on one aspect (in this case, delivery). As a class, discuss the basic brief and its aims. Students should see that the chosen solution, involving use of magnets and ultrasound, is not dictated by the brief, but is just one way of answering it. A practical exercise could then be carried out, based on a delivery system for a fragile object. In groups, students could invent systems that will transport eggs from one side of the class to the other, leaving the contents (without shell) in a bowl, ready for use. When the egg is broken, how the shell is separated, and how automated the system is, is up to them.
