This resource was developed by Arbour Vale School and is designed to be used with the museum’s handling collection of Horlicks objects. After visiting the factory, students and teachers developed work inspired by the Art Deco design of the building, produced their own version of the malted milk drink and used ICT in a range of work. This resource booklet contains background information and activities as well as images from the Horlicks archive. It is available to download along with a risk assessment to visit Horlicks, PowerPoints and videos at sloughmuseum.org

The Horlicks product Horlicks is the name of a company and a malted milk drink developed by James and William Horlick. It comes in powder form and is mixed with water to create a “nourishing and delicious table drink.”It is made up of malted barley, whole milk and wheat flour and it also includes a wide range of vitamins and minerals. The drink was marketed as being of great nutritional value and could help prevent ‘night starvation’ which would lead to a better night’s sleep.

William Horlick, a British man living in America and working as a pharmacist, developed a nutritious powdered milk drink. His brother James was working for a food manufacturing company in England; he moved to America to help William with his product and in 1873 they founded the Horlicks Company.

They decided to market their product in Britain. In 1906 James brought land from Eton College and built the Horlicks factory on it. The factory opened in 1908. The building has since become an important local landmark. According to adverts, Slough was chosen because of the quality of the milk produced by the farms. The nearby railway line may also have influenced the location of the factory.

Horlicks was recommended as a health drink “for infants, invalids, the aged and travellers” and in earlier adverts it was claimed the drink could be used as a meal replacement.

Horlicks around the worldPrior to 1914, Horlicks had sponsored polar expeditions by providing financial support as well as a supply of Horlicks to keep the expedition team’s strength up during the perilous journey. Horlicks played an important part in the First World War. As it was a product which was lightweight, non-perishable and packed with calories, it became important for British soldiers on the front.In April 1915 the Horlicks factory in Slough acquired a machine to make Horlicks into a tablet. These were small enough to fit into a soldier’s kit bag and a perfect source of sustenance on long marches. The malted milk tablets were marketed to the families of soldiers and Horlicks also offered to ship the tablets directly to the soldiers wherever they were stationed.

Adverts also conveyed messages of how important having a supply of Horlicks was to the soldiers during physically and emotionally exhausting wartime ordeals. Troops in the First World War became accustomed to the taste of Horlicks and as a result the product’s popularity spread to countries in the British Empire, whose soldiers were fighting alongside the British. Horlicks’s popularity in India began to rise as Indian soldiers of the British Army brought the drink back with them when returning from the war. As a result of this growing popularity, Horlicks opened factories in India. These factories now produce twice the quantity of product now manufactured in Slough and Horlicks has become one of the most widely consumed drinks in India.

Horlicks is now part of Glaxo SmithKline. www.horlicks.co.uk

The Horlicks building The Horlicks factory is one of Slough’s most iconic historic buildings. When it was completed in 1908, it had its own railway station and platform which led onto the Great Western Railway. The building houses a beautiful Art Deco Board room completed in 1927 and furnished with Robert ‘Mouseman’ Thompson furniture. Thompson was a British furniture maker who designed a carved mouse on almost every piece.

Robert Thompson was part of the 1920s revival of craftsmanship, inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement led by William Morris. Art Deco is a term that was created in the 1960s and referred to a style that spanned the boom of the roaring 1920s and the bust of the Depression-ridden 1930s.

Lesson One: Art and Design - Art Deco silk screen printing

Subject: Art and Design Topic: The Horlicks building and Art Deco design• Students investigate the use of Art Deco design

in the Horlicks building during a guided tour of Horlicks.

• Students take photographs with iPads and use the Art Deco designs as inspiration for their own screen prints.

Previous lesson: Introduce students to ‘Art Deco’ design. Ask students to create their own symmetrical design using the Symmetry activity. Visit the Horlicks factory to understand what ‘Art Deco’ looks like. Students can take rubbings and photographs of Art Deco design in the Horlicks boardroom.

Focus of lesson: Screen printingLearning Objectives:• To use a symmetrical design to create a screen

printing template.

• To sequence and follow instructions accurately to create a 3 part silk screen print.

Intended learning outcomes • Students begin to understand the process

of making a 3 part print.

• Students understand what is meant by ‘symmetry’ and ‘symmetrical’.

• Students can follow a sequence of instructions to create a print accurately and with little support.

Key Words:• Acetate• Score• Symmetrical• Well• Pull• Squeegee• Template • Flood

Lesson One: Art and Design - Art Deco silk screen printing

Introduction• Use the Horlicks factory and Art Deco design PowerPoint to show

photos from the Horlicks boardroom and how to create a 3 part silk screen print.

• Give students the Art Deco template based on shape/design of the photographs taken on the Horlicks trip. Tape this with masking tape to the back of the silk screen.

• Demonstrate how to use craft knives to cut out highlighted lines which are placed under the clear acetate so students have a guide.

• Demonstrate how to use the squeegee and ‘flood’ the template with paint and ‘pull’ the paint up and down the screen.

Questioning to determine knowledge retained from previous lesson:

• What does symmetry mean?

• What must we remember when using a craft knife?

• Do students understand what they are required to do?

• Which order do the 3 part print needs to go in? Why do we need to order them correctly?

• Have students completed their objectives?

Main • Ask students to begin the first of the 3 part silk screen.

• Each student must line their paper with the markings made on the board/table underneath (previously made by the teacher) to ensure all work is cantered and aligned to the template.

• Students make first screen print, allow to dry or 5-8 minutes (it will dry fast as it is a thin film of paint).

• Students repeat the sequence with the second template and ensure it is aligned with the first print.

• Dry and repeat sequence for third print.

Teacher notes• Templates must be taped to the back of the silk screen firmly.

Make sure that all space around the edge of the template is also taped over so no paint comes onto the paper.

• Make a mark on the board or table under the silk screen where students need to align their paper to ensure all prints are centred.

• Use more paint than is needed for each print. This is known as making a ‘well’ of paint. When students ‘pull’ the squeegee across the screen and over the template, they ‘flood’ the screen. Four pulls should be adequate for each print, less if the paint is thin and watery.

Plenary• Display work on tables and discuss what went well, and what was

challenging.

• Ask students to assess their peer’s work. Is it symmetrical?

• Discuss the following questions: if you were to complete a 3 part silk screen print again, what would you do differently? Have we completed our objective?

Lesson One: Science - Making malted barley

Subject: Science Topic: The Horlicks drink• To create malted barley and to evaluate it.

Prior learning:Visit to the Horlicks factory

Focus of lesson: To create malted barley which will take place over a week as the process requires time for germination. This lesson can be done as a one off, but students must check on their sprouting barley for 3-4 days afterwards followed by grinding and sieving.

Learning Objectives:• To understand that germination means to

sprout and that starch is stored in a seed.

• To create malt barley by following instructions.

• To record procedures to make malt barley.

Intended learning outcomes • All students will be able to sequence

photos of how to make malted barley.

• Most students will be able to write a set of instructions to malt barley.

• Some students will be able to describe why germination makes barley taste sweet.

Key Words:• Germination• Starch• Sugar• Barley• Malt

Resources: Making malted barley powder activity

• Plastic container with lid• Barley seeds• Paper towels• Oven• Baking sheet• Coffee grinder or food processor• Sieve


Lesson One: Science - Making malted barley

IntroductionRe-cap the ingredients found in Horlicks. Have some samples ready for students to try and guess and/or have students read the ingredients from the label. (Main ingredients are malted barley, milk powder and sugar).

Main Demonstrate the steps of making malted barley. Hand out the Making malted barley powder activity for students to complete when they attempt it on their own.

Teacher notesInstructions for malting your own raw barley are taken from the following websites:http://www.ehow.com/how_6931688_malt-barley-beer.htmlhttp://byo.com/malt/item/1092-make-your-own-malt

Make sure everything is clean to ensure that bacteria and mould do not grow. Please follow COSHH procedures. http://www.hse.gov.uk/coshh/ 1 Thoroughly wash the barley in clean water to remove the chaff, which will mostly float to the surface.

Drain and place in a covered container with enough water to reach two inches above the grain. Let the grain soak for eight hours, then drain and let stand for eight hours without water. After a final soaking of eight hours, the tips of the barley grain should begin to show whitish bulges. These are emerging roots.

2 The steeping regimen is the same for soft wheat berries and whole corn as it is for barley. Grains should never be soaked for longer than eight hours without a rest because the kernels might “drown” (die from lack of oxygen) and never sprout. After steeping, spread grain over paper towels in a large baking pan and place inside a black trash bag sealed air tight to hold in the moisture and keep out dust. At room temperature barley can take as little as four days and as long as six days to sprout to the proper size.

3 Dry the barley immediately. Use an oven or food dehydrator set between 100-125°F. Spread the barley evenly over a baking sheet or dehydrator rack.

4 Grind the barley using a food processor or coffee grinder. Students can sieve this mixture so that a fine powder is their final product.

Please note: Use shop bought malted barley powder to create drinks to ensure there is no contamination

PlenaryStudents swap flowcharts with other groups of students for peer-assessment

Lesson Two: Science - Making a Horlicks drink

Subject: Science Topic: The Horlicks drink• To create a Horlicks recipe and evaluate it.

Prior learning:Making malted barley powder

Focus of lesson: To create a recipe for Horlicks as well as a standard recipe and compare them.

Learning Objectives:• To learn how to follow a recipe.

• To record procedures.

• To use proper hygiene when handling food items.

• To evaluate work effectively.

Intended learning outcomes • All students will be able to follow a recipe

when given to them.

• Most students will be able to create their own recipe.

• Some students will be able to evaluate their recipe.

Key Words:• Cocoa• Sugar• Sweet• Powder• Hygiene

Resources: Standard Horlicks recipe activityMy Horlicks recipe activityMy new, improved Horlicks recipe activity

• Clean spoons• Beakers or cups• Weighing scales• Cup measures• Spoon measures• Hot water• Disposable cups for tasting


Lesson Two: Science - Making a Horlicks drink

IntroductionRe-cap the ingredients found in Horlicks. Students can taste the raw ingredients individually and describe each ingredient’s flavour and texture (sweet, salty, spicy, powdery, etc.)

Main Demonstrate the steps of making malted barley. Hand out the Making malted barley powder activity for students to complete when they attempt it on their own.

Teacher notes1 Students work in groups or pairs. Ask them to gather materials to make a standard Horlicks type

recipe. Work together to mix the powders in the correct quantities. NB: This can be adapted for a maths lesson by giving students ‘proportions’ only and asking them to scale them appropriately. Both recipes have been included here.

2 Once students have a mixture ready, ask them to brew it using hot water and pour it into small individual disposable cups for tasting.

3 Hand out the Standard Horlicks recipe activity for students to complete the tasting evaluation to describe the flavours or the balance of flavours.

4 Students discuss in their groups what they need to improve and create their own recipe by changing the proportion of the same ingredients used in the original method.

5 Ask students to taste the new recipe and use the My Horlicks recipe activity to note down the proportions of the ingredients used.

6 Students try out another recipe and note down changes on the My new, improved Horlicks recipe activity.

Please note: Use shop bought malted barley powder to create drinks to ensure there is no contamination. This can be purchased at online brewing stores.

PlenaryStudents compare and contrast their two drinks. As a class discuss what suggestions they would make to Horlicks manufacturers to create a better product.
