Information and activities about Ancient Egypt for kids. There are four sections: Egyptomania, find out (info), activities with board games, colouring pages, and quizzes, Make it instructions for making a paper death mask, and tour with links to information about animals in Egypt and several artifacts.
This is a great idea for a webquest, especially Task 1, but unfortunately the information doesn't quite match. Would definitely be worth reworking.
I love this idea but can't get it to work on a Mac...you drag the different hair styles onto the heads.
Students can create a virtual museum box in which to collect items such as text, photos, video, and uploaded items needed to make an argument, describe a person or historical/geographical site etc. Students can also view other museum boxes and comment. For classroom use ideas, see Kelly Tenkley's Jan 06, 2009 post at iLearn Technology. This website was inspired by Thomas Clarkson who carried around a real museum box of artifacts to make a case for the abolition of slavery. Each compartment is actually a cube that expands into 6 more "sides" for storing information. Very cool.
Unbelievable graphics and excellent quality information and activities. Particularly good pyramid, hieroglyphics, and math activities. Commercial content is probably worth buying if it is as good as the free stuff. Can use for educational purposes if you link back to his site. Egypt Pyramids Pharaohs Hieroglyphs temple reconstructions kings and queens free Quiz games write your name in the ancient hieroglyphic script.
Very nice graphics, good info, easy to read site. The literature units on the Mountain City Elementary site were recommended by Maureen LaFleche and their history units are just as good.
Interview with a scientist who thinks the pyramids were poured from concrete rather than hauled into place. Quirks & Quarks with Bob McDonald, heard Saturdays from 12:06 p.m. on CBC Radio One
Wikijunior open source book on Egypt. Read online or download as .pdf.
Very nice simple pages with downloadable print file that could be run through Kurzweil.
