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 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 A-Z of Religion and Beliefs available on BBC Teach. Is God male, female, or both? This playful, fully animated summary takes students on a journey across religions and through history, exploring the fundamental role of the feminine in religion. Hindu goddesses take centre stage as manifestations of the universe’s essence, and the role of enlightened female beings is also shown as central to Tibetan Buddhism. After delving into the importance of female energy in Christianity, the short film introduces students to a very ancient lady, which many believe to be the mother of all religions and beliefs. Teacher Notes You could ask your students to research Hindu goddesses and discuss their relationship to Brahman. Students could discuss whether the Christian, Jewish and Muslim God can have a gender, and research the role of goddesses in ancient animistic religions.

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 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 Operation Awesome available on BBC Teach. Children work with a dinosaur scientist to find dinosaur footprints that have been fossilised into the rock on a beach. The scientist explains how the footprints were made inside the hard rock and children model the process using layers of sand and mud. The scientist then explains how the fossilised footprints are revealed in the rock after millions of years of erosion. The timescale for the whole process is discussed. Teacher Notes This is an effective introduction to how fossils are formed, and of how rocks change over time. In this case they are ‘trace fossils’ from the footprints, rather than actual fossilised remains. Your pupils could carry out an investigation into how rocks become eroded over time, using layers of sand, gravel and soil and observing the effect of water flowing over the top. They could then suggest other factors which might cause erosion of rocks. Pupils could explore other examples of fossils from photographs or actual specimens. They could then go on to make their own fossils out of plaster of paris or similar in moulds.

This film is from The Burrowers available on BBC Teach. Chris Packham visits a man-made rabbit warren to see baby rabbits being born. A scientist shows him how a thermal imaging camera detects heat instead of light and can be used to see which animals are the warmest. He discovers that the kits (baby rabbits) have no fur when they are born, so they must huddle together to keep warm. The mother rabbit feeds the kits with milk, just like all mammals. Because it is warmest in the middle of the huddle, the kits change places to stay warm. When the kits are older, they start to eat solid food; initially, their mother’s faeces, as this contains important bacteria that will help the kits to digest the tough plant material. Teacher Notes This film could be used as a stimulus when studying life cycles and the ways in which animals reproduce. Remind pupils that all mammals, including humans, are initially fed on milk from their mothers. As the baby mammals get older, they move towards a diet that makes use of the natural resources around them, such as grass for rabbits. But digesting grass is very hard, and special bacteria are needed by baby rabbits to help them. What do humans need in their diet to stay healthy?

This film is from the series Life on Planet Ant available on BBC Teach. A leafcutter ant colony from Trinidad has been rescued and re-housed in a giant man-made nest in the UK, allowing an in-depth study into their normally hidden world. It’s the first time a man-made colony has been built on this scale and Professor Adam Hart gives four primary school scientists a tour. The young scientists are not able to see the queen as she is hidden deep within the nest. But, in the lab, Adam is able to show them a similar queen from another leafcutter colony. They learn that the queen is much larger than all the other ants, with the smaller ants that surround her tending to her every need. The life cycle of ants is described; the queen lays the eggs which hatch into larvae and then change to become the ants in the colony. When the eggs are laid they are all the same, but what and how much they are fed results in different kinds of ants, such as soldier ants and minima. The ant colony is very clever; if it comes under attack it produces more soldier ants, and if they need more leaves they will grow more ants to become foragers. Teacher Notes Students could role-play how an ant colony adapts to outside forces. One student could be selected as the ‘queen’ and two others as worker ants. Everyone else could stand in a ‘holding zone’. The ‘queen’ could tap students in the holding zone on the shoulder and they would then become ‘eggs’. Once the eggs are created, the worker ants should hand out different coloured bands, depending on whether the ant in the egg will become a soldier or a worker ant. Once a few ants have been ‘born’, a caller could describe an outside force which is affecting the colony. For example, ‘another colony is attacking’. The workers should then hand out more ‘soldier’ bands. Outside forces should lead to killing a number of ants at once so that students can return to the holding zone, begin their life again as ‘eggs’ and continue the flow of the game. Examples include humans stepping on the colony, or doing battle with other ants. Students could draw the different stages of the ant life cycle in the correct order. Curriculum Notes This clip will be relevant for teaching Science/Biology at KS2 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and 2nd Level in Scotland.

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.

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 clip is from the series The Alchemist’s Apprentice available on BBC Teach. Three students try out hands-on experiments with carbon dioxide in a science lab. With the help of Dr Peter Wothers at the University of Cambridge, they explore the properties of the air around us. They measure the density of carbon dioxide, they create ‘dry ice’ by extracting carbon dioxide from calcium carbonate, and they explore how limewater is made. Teacher Notes Students could be asked to write down word and symbol equations for the processes occurring in this clip. They could also be challenged to criticise the on-screen graphics and the use of the = sign. Symbol equations can be balanced. The thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate can be repeated by students in the lab, using large marble chips on the edge of a piece of gauze and heating for ten minutes with a hot Bunsen flame. During this time, the teacher can circulate with a butane brûlée torch and heat each chip for one minute until limelight is seen. After cooling, the chips can be reacted with water and tested using universal indicator drops.

This film is from the series Materials: How They Work available on BBC Teach. Materials scientist, Mark Miodownik describes the discovery of graphene. It’s the toughest material we know: 200 times stronger than steel, and able to carry electricity at 1 million metres per second. It was discovered in 2004 by the Noble Prize winning duo, Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, from the University of Manchester. Mark meets Andre Geim who explains some of the properties of his discovery. Teacher Notes This clip can be used as a stimulus for research into new materials and designer polymers and alloys. Students can begin by researching the uses of graphene Then other examples of new materials such as smart alloys, water absorbing polymers, super strong magnets and hydrophobic sand can be demonstrated and their properties investigated. Students can suggest a use for an ideal material which fill a gap in the market and then make suggestions as to how it can be filled. Curriculum Notes This clip will be relevant for teaching Chemistry at KS3 and GCSE Level. This topic appears in OCR, Edexcel, AQA, WJEC in England and Wales, CCEA GCSE in Northern Ireland and SQA National 4 and 5 in Scotland.

This film is from the series Biomimetics - Designed by Nature available on BBC Teach. Scientists are applying their study of the natural world to the development of exciting new innovations. Fran Scott shows inspirational examples of man-made products that are interpreting nature’s biological functions. For example, spiders silk inspiring Kevlar, termite mounds inspiring passive cooling in buildings, whale fins inspiring turbine blades, sea sponges inspiring fibre optics and lotus leaves inspiring self-cleaning paint. Teacher Notes This film is a good introduction into biomimetics. This clip can be used to inspire students and give them reference points for further research. It shows the process researchers go through to arrive at their innovative design ideas. Students could take an investigative approach to the natural world around them and apply their design thinking to generate new ideas. Curriculum Notes This clip is suitable for GCSE Design and Technology and touches upon topics that appear in AQA, OCR A, EDEXCEL, EDUQAS, WJEC GCSE in England and Wales, and CCEA GCSE in Northern Ireland and SQA National 5 in Scotland.
