History
Most teachers already look to museums to support the History Curriculum and practically every museum will be able to offer some support for the History Curriculum.
However, it is possible to combine aspects of historical enquiry with other curriculum areas, e.g., literacy, science, technology, geography or art and design.
Most important is to use your local museum for a study of the local area, whether it is from an historical or a geographical viewpoint.
Contact your local Museum Development Officer via this website for details of museums in your area.
