What is how do ideas travel ?
1. A one day off timetable ( or parts thereof)
programme bringing together science and
humanities teachers
2. A series of tasks and activities-some general,
some uniquely scientific, some historical
3. A day that elicits a range of key skills
4. A fun day for all
An invitation – and a
challenge
• Pupils are invited to act
as consultants for a new
television programme
that aims to explore
why Baghdad (and the
wider Islamic world)
was so important in
world history
The House of Wisdom from “1001 Inventions” published by FSTC, 2006
How did ideas spread from the House of Wisdom and other Muslim centres?

Hello. I’m Jabir.
I want to find better ways of
producing the liquids we
need…liquids like medicines,
perfumes and lamp oil.

the programme
Team presentations :
• Persuasive

How do these resources and all 1001
materials enhance the curriculum?
• Community cohesion – Ensuring that the curriculum reflects
and values a wide range of groups and cultures represented in
modern British society
• The Prevent Agenda and combating Islamophobia –
Challenging stereotypes that underpin the arguments of
violent extremist groups
• Personal Learning and Thinking Skills – Developing critical,
creative thinking and problem solving as individuals and in
pairs and teams
• The Global Dimension – Evaluating events from a global
perspective
How do these resources enhance the
curriculum?
Key Stage 3 Science
• Recognising the roots of modern science in many
cultures (1.3)
• Evaluating scientific evidence and methods (2.2.b)
• Studying science in … global contexts (4f).
In terms of APP this work will inform assessment of all five Assessment Foci.
Key Stage 3 History
• Understanding cultural, ethnic and religious diversity (1.2)
• Identifying and explaining change and continuity (1.3)
• Analysing and explaining cause and consequence
• Using evidence (2.2)
• Exploring the ways in which the past has helped shape identities, shared
cultures, values and attitudes today (4a)
THE CONCLUSION
We have some brilliant products that
address so many aspects of the
curriculum
We have an understanding of how we
can use the curriculum for change
We have the will and the advocates
YES WE CAN
My details-should you want to
