History teacher skills: Using artefacts in the classroom

This teacher-facing History video supports educators in using artefacts to develop pupils’ historical enquiry skills. It explores how to introduce artefacts as sources of evidence and includes practical strategies for classroom use—such as carousel activities, classroom museums, and mystery suitcases—to help pupils explore similarities, differences, and changes over time using appropriate historical vocabulary.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s History teacher skills resources. It helps build teacher confidence in using artefacts effectively to promote questioning, interpretation, and a deeper understanding of the past.

History teacher skills: Empire, invasion and settlers

This History teacher skills video explores how to teach complex substantive concepts such as empire, peasantry, and monarchy in meaningful and accessible ways. Using examples from units on the Romans, Anglo-Saxons, and Vikings, it demonstrates how placing abstract ideas like invasion and settlement in historical contexts helps pupils make sense of these concepts. The video offers guidance on using definitions, chronological understanding, and contextual comparisons to deepen conceptual knowledge.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s History teacher skills resources. It supports teachers in confidently introducing abstract historical concepts across Key Stage 2, ensuring pupils develop a secure and nuanced understanding over time.

History teacher skills: Using artefacts to make deductions

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.

History teacher skills: Legacy

This History teacher skills video supports teaching the abstract concept of legacy by guiding pupils to evaluate the lasting impact of the Roman Empire on Britain. It explores key Roman contributions such as numerals, central heating, sewage systems, and Christianity. The video encourages pupils to compare life before and after the Roman conquest and reflect on which Roman legacies are still significant today.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s History skills resources. It equips teachers with strategies to help children analyse change over time and assess historical influence through critical thinking and comparison.
