'America,1920-73: Opportunity and inequality' begins with a look at the economic boom, social and cultural developments including flappers and the jazz age, prohibition, Al Capone, and the first Red Scare. After that, we move on to the Wall Street Crash, in which we'll look, in particular, at its consequences, the resulting election of FDR and his various measures aimed at helping the US recover. Thereafter we move on to look at the 1950s, 60s and 70s, most notably the Civil Rights Movement. This encompasses various key events and individuals, including the bus boycotts, the sit-ins and marches, as well as Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks and Malcolm X.

Towards the end of Year 10 we begin our penultimate study - Health and the people: 1000 to the present day. This is a sizable topic that includes a look at medicine and public health in the Middle Ages and, later, the Renaissance. Thereafter we look at dealing with and preventing disease, the Germ Theory, surgery, more public health and modern medicine. Key individuals are studied throughout, including the likes of Hippocrates and Galen (whose influence was still very much felt in the Middle Ages), Pare, Vesalius and Harvey of Renaissance fame, Jenner, Pasteur, Koch and Fleming. Plus many more besides.
