This engaging KS3 history lesson introduces students to the British Empire through the key enquiry question: What makes the British Empire unique? Designed to spark curiosity and critical thinking, this resource helps students explore the scale, reach, and impact of the British Empire and understand its significance in world history.

Through a mix of discussion and interactive tasks, students will investigate how the global empires of the past shaped trade, culture, conflict, and colonisation - and where the British Empire fits in. Ideal as part of an empire or global history unit, this lesson provides a strong foundation for further study and encourages students to form their own evidence-based conclusions about Britain’s role in the wider world.

Perfect for Year 7 and 8 History Lessons (or ages 11-14).
