Educational Resources

The Yorkshire Waterways Museum School Resources. Resources have been developed for; Key Stage 1, Key Stage 2, Outreach and Alternative Learning. The Key Stage 2 resources are extensive and are useful for pre planning a class visit and also for non visiting schools to access the collection without visiting the Yorkshire Waterways Musem. The Key Stage 2 resources can be ordered on a CD-ROM or can be accessed on the links below. These documents are available for download, can be printed and can also be used or adapted for work with other Key Stages. As some of these resources are large file sizes, a broadband connection is preferable. The resources have been categorised into subject areas to make navigation easier for teachers and lesson planning. Key Stage 2 Click each subject to access.
