A series of six short video clips designed to be used with KS2 children on the interactive whiteboard. The clips aim to stimulate thinking and generate discussion. They will encourage children to use their imagination and build on each other's ideas.
The accompanying web notes suggest classroom work before and after teachers use the material to support the creativity and thinking skills agendas, e.g. evaluating information, comparing and contrasting, drawing inferences and making deductions, using evidence, justifying, anticipating consequences, and imagining. Each clip ends with a question to prompt class, paired or group discussion. For example, in the opening clip a man runs through a city centre and makes a 999 call. The question posed is - Why does he make the call? All the thinking skills are relevant to all curriculum areas, so the clips can be used effectively as thinking 'warm-ups' during a wide range of lessons

"Using high speed camera technology Trevor Cox, professor of acoustics at the University of Salford, shows us a range of demonstrations using sound, starting with what happens when you slow down the effect of rubbing the rim of a glass of water to 80 times less than normal speed.
Using a tuning fork, a triangle, a cymbal and a guitar he demonstrates the impact of sound on a soap bubble, burning candles, and a wine glass - with spectacular results. Students are also encouraged to examine the impact of different frequencies of sound.
Using an oscilloscope Trevor shows the difference in frequencies produced by different octaves played on a saxophone as well as those on the soprano, alto, baritone and tenor saxophones. The 'confusaphone' shows what happens when your left and right hearing is mixed up and he examines the effect of sonic boom created by a cracking whip. Finally Trevor examines the effect of echo and the varying sounds we can create with our own bodies."

"The clips in this programme are drawn from the home movies that British and German film-makers shot in World War II. They are designed to inspire class-room thinking and discussion about the way children in Britain and Germany experienced evacuation, bombing, school life, and death on the home front.
Each clip runs for about 2 minutes and ends with a thought-provoking question. The archive, some of it in colour and all shot by amateurs, ranges from the declaration of war listened to on a Cornish beach, to gas masks and air raid shelters, a short clip about school life in war time and the story of one woman's blitz and the death of her three siblings.
The starters include an account of the bombing of a German home with film shot by the father.
The on -ine resources include lesson plans and ideas for ways to use the starters in a six-week unit on the experience of
children in war-time."

"This is a lesson starter for a KS3 citizenship lesson, looking at how the Red Cross delivers aid to Afghanistan.
The clip explains the fact that food is expensive in Kabul because people can't grow enough crops. We follow the Red Cross trucks as they distribute food packages and other aid to people living in the outlying villages, and see how the villagers make use of what is delivered.
The clip ends with some questions for students to discuss: What are the challenges in delivering aid? Should communities have a say in the type of aid they receive?
For more information and ideas, see the supporting programme notes prepared by the Red Cross for Teachers TV.
