Learning Resources for Schools

The collections of the Imperial War Museum are incredible resources for learning about modern conflict. All our education services are based on the ‘raw material of history’ found in our collections.

Even if you are able to visit one of our five branches, these online learning resources can help prepare for and follow up your visit.

WebQuests are based on collections from NINE national museums, including the Imperial War Museum. WebQuests are mapped to the curriculum at Key Stages 1 to 4, across subjects including English, Maths, History and Citizenship.

WebQuests are part of the National Museums Online Learning Project.

We also have further schools resources to complement WebQuests:

Media and War Media and War
The battle for hearts and minds. A new online exhibition for teachers and students of citizenship, history and media studies, which examines the use of propaganda during the main conflicts of the 20th and 21st centuries.
No Job for a Woman No Job for a Woman
Women have participated in wars - as soldiers, nurses, workers and home-makers - since well before the twentieth century. This resource focuses on women's experiences of war in the twentieth century. It is a useful resource for teachers of History and Citizenship.

There is even more available for teachers and schools from our major education project Their Past Your Future.
