In this engaging lesson, children are introduced to the Iron Age. In particular, they learn how:
-the world changed from the bronze age to the iron age;
-people retrieved and used iron;
-the iron age came to different civilisations at different times;
-the discovery of iron, alongside other discoveries, changed daily life.
The learning is guided by a clear and colourful PowerPoint presentation, which guides students through the following step-by-step journey:
-Knowledge recall - gauging what children know/ can remember about the Stone Age and Bronze Age, in order to secure a foundation for their learning;
-Discovering how iron was retrieved, and how it was first used at different times by different civilisations;
-Being ‘Iron Age Detectives’ and exploring a range of sources (provided) to find out important information about daily life in the Iron Age;
-Designing an Iron Age village based on everything that they have learnt about Iron Age life;
-Self-reflecting on the extent to which they feel they have met the learning objective.
Included is the comprehensive PowerPoint presentation (17 slides), the four historical sources and the research template (provided in both Word and PDF)
In the past, I have used this lesson with children in lower KS2 (years 3 and 4) - the key learning is aligned with curriculum expectations for history. All images are licensed for commercial use.
