Social Science 2.1, 2.4 ThinkQuest's site "Ancient World" won the Gold in the ThinkQuest Competition for Students.  This site, created by students, includes factual information, craft ideas, recipes, and online activities for Ancient Egypt.  The "Fact Page" contains information on every aspect of Ancient Egypt and is a great online resource.  "Online Activities" is the place for interactive maps, an Egyptian calculator, hieroglyphic name translator, rules for the popular Egyptian board game of "Senet" and much more.   Finish off this unit by sharing the recipes.  They sound delicious!

SOL:  Measurement - Meet Jack the builder.  He lives in a country that only uses the Metric System.  Can your students help Jack?  He gets terribly confused with measuring.  Begin with a discussion on the metric "Unit of Measurement" to help students understand the terminology.  When this is complete, students help Jack read the actual measurements in the activity.   Be careful though, this site uses the French language spelling since it is from Canada.
