This project has been designed to complement and aid a visit to the Connected Earth gallery at Amberley Working Museum. The project contains different activities, relating to the story of communications, and the displays at Amberley. These activities can be used before, during and after a visit to the Museum, supporting and reinforcing learning in the context of a visit. They can also be used without visiting at all.
