The BBC says the film "provides an opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of how the Ancient Egyptians used science and engineering to build the pyramids. Pupils can carry out a practical investigation to find out the difference adding water to sand makes to the force needed to pull an object. As the video progresses, opportunities arise for teachers to discuss skills and talents with pupils and to highlight that in diversity of skills we have strength. Linking to the PSHE curricula by helping pupils understand the importance of various skills when looking at the make-up of a team. There are opportunities to explore life through the seasons in Ancient Egyptian times, looking at how and why people were able to be released from farming duties to support the building of the pyramids.”

Differentiated! Both versions look very similar, but “B” version has subtle clues. 13 questions for the 4-minute film. .doc and .pdf of all sheets, link to video on all sheets. Answer sheet. Very easy to mark.
