Looking at Historical Objects
Subject: History
(This idea was contributed by Craig Gill)
Age Range: 7 to 11

This activity is based on a worksheet, which can be found here.

This gives children questions to answer when looking at historical objects. This will focus their attention on different aspects of the object, although it is important that the aim of the activity should be to learn more about the object (and its purpose), rather than just to fill in the worksheet.
