The Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages were fascinating periods of human history that saw significant advancements in technology, art, and culture. In Year 3, students can explore these periods in-depth through a range of resources and activities. Two detailed timeline videos provide a comprehensive overview of the Stone Age and the transition from Bronze to Iron Age. Additionally, there are seven well-researched and tested curriculum-led activities that cover Art, Design & Technology, History, Mathematics, and Science. This resource is a great addition to any child’s education and meets several aspects of the National Curriculum of England.
If you’re interested in exploring more topics for Year 3, check out the other resources available on Hands-On Education. They cover most points of the national curriculum and include videos, activity sheets, and easy-to-use activity plans.

About Hands-On Education
Each hands-on lesson (or activity plan) provides parents and teachers with all the information needed to undertake and complete each activity successfully. We fully outline every step of the way, from what materials you need, to how the final solution may look, covering everything in-between. A huge amount of research has gone into each lesson and much of the key information we pass on to you, as the educator to pass on to your child or classroom. Our method is one of ‘learning by doing’ making the activities open ended with no ‘correct’ outcomes at the end. Our priority is for children to enjoy their learning experiences and allowing for children of various ages to join in the activities.
Many of our lessons take place outside and we encourage you to take advantage of locations in your local areas. We believe your child can learn about the world around them by exploring the world at their doorstep. The activity plans are all written with a single child in mind, they have not been developed purely for a home education or state school in mind. As they are developed to be quite flexible our intention is that they can be expanded to a two child household or a thirty child classroom with relative ease.
Many of the activities are accompanied by supporting activity sheets (worksheets, timeline cards, etc…) and videos which you may choose to use alongside the lesson. We love books and recommend your local library as one of the best free resources available to you. Check out loads of books about the topic you are learning and spend time reading and looking through them together. In many topics we recommend books related to the activity or broader subject. We offer a full booklist that you may wish to checkout.
The Seeds and Lifecycles year three topic explores the amazing relationship between seeds and their lifecycles. By going on a seed hunt and creating a seed bomb, children can learn about the importance of seeds and how they are dispersed. The accompanying Seed Dispersal video provides additional information and a fun activity to follow up with. This resource meets the Science aspect of the National Curriculum of England.
For more curriculum standard activities for year three, check out the other topics available on the website. Hands-On Education covers most points of the national curriculum for Year 3, including investigating plant conditions, fossils and my skeleton.
