“Chronological and geographical assessment of the Museum’s buildings”
(Key Stage 3) |
Using the Museum’s historic buildings your students can collate historical data including the date that the buildings were originally built, the date that the buildings were moved to the Museum, the location from which the buildings were collected from and the original use of the buildings. Your students will then be able to produce a chronological timeline of the buildings and building techniques as well as being able to map the collection area of the Museum. Using a modern geographical map your students will be able to correlate their collated data to changes in land use in the Chiltern Hills area.
An Information pack detailing the buildings (both re-erected and in storage) and a geographical map will be provided.
