Workshop / Building Materials Key Stage 1
 



This hands-on exhibition is designed to provoke curiosity, to demand responses, to invite application to the various elements of the exhibition and in doing so to appreciate the Museum as a whole.  It consists of six trolleys, each containing different materials with the following aims:
  • To distinguish between raw materials and finished building materials used for houses
  • To recognise the materials used in a building.  To recognise the differences between materials used in old and modern houses.
  • To recognise the different ways that brick walls can be built.
  • To sequence the way in which timber can be changed.
  • To identify the different uses of rooms in an old house.  To recognise the differences between the past and today.
  • To discuss and suggest reasons how and why buildings are located on a farm.
