What have you learned about the Golden Age? - Worksheet - Year 5

The term "Golden Age" is often used to describe the early Islamic civilisation, particularly in reference to its period of remarkable cultural, scientific, and economic achievements. A worksheet designed for Year 5 students prompts them to explore this era by watching a specific educational video from BBC Teach, which focuses on Baghdad in 900AD. The video is intended to provide students with insights into why this period in history is celebrated as the Golden Age and to identify the zenith of Islamic civilisation's glory.

The worksheet encourages students to reflect on the content of the video and record what they have learned about the Golden Age. They are asked to consider the reasons behind the early Islamic civilisation being labelled as such and to pinpoint the time when Islamic civilisation was at its peak. This exercise not only aims to enhance the students' historical knowledge but also to develop their ability to analyse educational resources and articulate their understanding of significant historical periods. The worksheet is a creation of Focus Education (UK) Ltd, and it serves as an interactive tool to engage students with the rich history of the Islamic world during its most flourishing era.
