Each week of term time BBC Television provides twenty-seven transmissions directed to schools and technical colleges. Today's programmes are just two examples from series planned for secondary schools.

12.15 Science and Life: How Your Body Works: The Senses: 1: Feeling and Hearing

All we know of the world outside our skin comes to us through the senses-the recognition and warning systems of the brain. Professor W. S. Bullough examines the organ which translates pressure waves into what we call sounds, and our acute sense of touch which can even enable the blind to read.
First shown in March 1962

12.35 Spotlight: Japan Today
A topical series about people, politics, and problems in the news.

An opportunity to see a current affairs programme which was first shown to schools in February this year.
Introduced by Michael Smee.
