This lesson, assembly and active viewing guide will inspire young people aged 11–14 to consider a positive future though STEM by using the film Hidden Figures and EDF Energy’s Pretty Curious programme activities to unlock their potential.
The science lesson helps students to develop their understanding of investigations and fair testing, and gather data that is valid and reliable. Students must use their understanding of forces acting on a glider to make a prediction that they will test in a hands-on investigation, concluding with an evaluation of their results. It is comprised of a teachers’ notes document, activity sheets and a PowerPoint presentation with embedded clips from the film. It is spilt into seven parts, based on the flight of a rocket, and is to be completed over a double lesson period, or in a few Into Film Clubs or STEM clubs.
Hidden Figures is working with EDF Energy’s Pretty Curious programme with the aim to inspire 2 million teenage girls and boys to consider a future through STEM.
This film is now available to stream free at Into Film+
