Welcome to BBC Education Scotland's exciting site for What? Where? When?
Why? Within the site there are units on the following topics:
Buildings;
Homes;
Living Things;
Technology - Things we wear;
Scottish Woodlands.
The following fun-packed activities
can be used to complement our televised education programmes What? Where?
When? Why? on the above topics.
Alternatively, this Online service can also be implemented independently
without using our TV series - it all depends upon your requirements and
the needs of your learners!
What is the purpose of BBC Education Online?
- BBC Education Online offers a range of purposeful, stimulating learning
activities, which cover various curriculum areas.
- Using BBC Education Online can also serve as a useful ICT resource,
which allows you to integrate ICT and, in addition, enrich other curriculum
areas.
- This Online service is an accessible teaching resource, available
to you and can implemented when required.
There are many activities for the children to complete. What? Where? When?
Why? questions are explored in four tasks. Please note that the Where and
When activities in Homes have differentiated tasks to suit learner requirements,
as do the What and Where activities in the Living Things site. In the Technology
- Things we wear and Scottish Woodlands sites there are also differentiated tasks for Levels A and
B.

All our children's pages are "safe" areas, which prevent any pupil
leaving the site or visiting the "unknown"!! On each page there
is a help icon which will give the children text and audio prompts when clicked.
The site will work best for the child if an adult initially makes them familiar with the help icon and its function.
In addition to the Units on Buildings, Homes, Living
Things, Technology and Scottish Woodlands
there is also a Gallery.
There are 5 sections in the Gallery: Homes, Living Things, Technology – Things we Wear, Scottish Woodlands and
Happy Gang pictures. There is an opportunity to view a picture from a collection
of drawings submitted by children. Click on one to make it bigger.
The Happy Gang are the presenters. They will stimulate thought and increase
learner motivation throughout the games and activities.
The Technology and Woodlands sites have pre-loader buttons in the teacher’s page. You can use these to speedily download the site before starting the lesson.
 You
will find the teacher's icon on the top left hand corner of each page. This
tells the teacher how to complete the activity.
PLEASE NOTE: The teacher's icon gives the option to leave the 'safe
area' and return to the home page. This is how we suggest you
leave the site at the end of the lesson.
Using ICT and BBC Online as a learning resource can support the development
of a positive disposition towards learning and enhance learner self-esteem.
Therefore, in some areas, when each child has completed the four activities/ games, he/she
will be able to print out an achievement certificate in recognition of his/her
endeavours.
