This is an excellent website for teaching history to kids. It contains some fairly detailed information.

Many excellent links on this subsection of Educscapes.

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.

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.

This would be such a great activity to add to an Ancient Egypt study!
