Boffin, the Builder and the Bombardier, The ( Study Guide)

DESCRIPTION

The Boffin, the Builder and the Bombardier is a fun and fast-paced series of eight ten-minute episodes in which three mates deconstruct history by reconstructing the devices that made it. Each episode sees our characters uncover the secrets of the past by immersing themselves in it – dressing up, with often comedic results – and blowing up … sometimes just for the fun of it. But beneath the good humour is a well-researched documentary with experimental archaeology – the replication of objects and methods of the past, to better interpret and understand them – at its core. The audience will get a laugh and, at program’s end, an insight into history they may not have had before. Curriculum Links: This study guide is mainly aimed at middle and upper-secondary school levels, with relevance to English, History (including World War I – Gallipoli, the medieval era, the American Civil War, and the Napoleonic Wars) and History Method, Science (including Physics), Maths, and Media Studies. Teachers may also find the series relevant to aspects of Problem Solving, and Personal and Interpersonal Development (Teamwork).
