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.
