The Royal website's Buckingham Palace virtual tours offer students a unique glimpse inside one of the UK's most iconic residences. Through 360-degree images and detailed descriptions, students can explore the Throne Room, Grand Staircase, and other stately rooms, learning about the palace's architecture, artwork, and history. This website is valuable for English or history classes, providing context on British monarchy, culture, and art. For geography lessons, it introduces students to significant British landmarks, enhancing their understanding of the UK's cultural heritage. The videos are hosted on YouTube. If your district blocks YouTube, then they may not be viewable.

In the Classroom

Use Google My Maps, reviewed here, or other mapping tools for students to create a digital map marking significant landmarks in London, including Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, and the Tower of London. They can briefly describe each landmark's historical significance and how they relate to British history and culture. Students can research significant events in the history of the British monarchy, including key moments related to Buckingham Palace. They can create a timeline using a free resource such as Timeline Infographic Templates, reviewed here that highlights these events and incorporates visuals, such as pictures of important royal ceremonies past and present at the palace. Have students focus on the architectural style and artworks found within Buckingham Palace. They can research the different architectural elements and select specific artworks to analyze. Present these findings to the class in a digital slideshow using Google Slides, reviewed here.
