Pupils can demonstrate their understanding of primary and secondary sources in the context of the invention of electric streetlights with this UKS2 What did the Victorians Invent? Worksheet. To engage a range of learners, there are three ways this worksheet can be used and these are indicated in the footer of the resource. Children can identify if the sources are primary or secondary, consider which questions they help to answer and discuss their usefulness and reliability.

The resource is a great way to see if pupils understand the historical concept of historical interpretations. It links to the the third lesson of a six-lesson block and compliments the UKS2 What did the Victorians Invent? PowerPoint.
