One hundred objects from the collections of museums across the country have been included in a teaching resource aimed at bringing key elements of the new history curriculum to life.

Entitled Teaching History with 100 Objects, it has been developed, written and launched by the British Museum with backing from the Department for Education.

The artefacts have been selected to trace British and world history from around 700,000 years ago to 1066 and from then to the present day. The resource is designed to support the history curriculum at key stages 1, 2 and 3 and the first lot of 20 objects became available online last week.
