Teaching children to use artefacts
This History teacher skills video provides guidance on how to use Roman artefacts effectively in the classroom to support historical inquiry. It demonstrates how to engage pupils in handling and observing artefacts, encouraging them to ask thoughtful questions and make logical deductions about Roman life. From chatelaine sets to brooches, mosaics, and glassware, the video explores ways to scaffold pupil investigation, develop observational skills, and deepen understanding of life in ancient Rome through material evidence.
