Self-led Handling boxes

Containing real and replica objects as well as a range of suggested activities, these boxes can be tailored by teachers to suit the learning intentions of their class. Each in-person session starts with an introduction by our Enabler team. They will also talk you through some suggested activities for you and your class. 

You can explore the handling box notes before your visit to plan how this will link into the curriculum and your work in class. Below are some of the ways taking part in a session with your class links to the CfE Experiences and Outcomes:
