Ancient History

Egypt

Ancient Egypt
http://library.advanced.org/10805/egypt.html

WOULD NOT USE DURING CLASS
Contents:
Time Frame-Timeline that is brief.
Origins and Religion-Very brief.
Succession of Dynasties-List all of the rulers, without dates. A few are hyperlinked.
Map of Egypt
Sources for Egypt
The Pronunciation of Ancient Egyptian
http://www.friesian.com/egypt.htm

WOULD NOT USE DURING CLASS
Very detailed description of how to read Egyptian.
Encyclopedia Mythica: Egyptian mythology
http://www.pantheon.org/mythica/areas/egyptian/

Might use in class, in the computer lab, for the kids to get a sense of the vast number of gods.
Has a list of all of the Egyptian gods. We are talking ALL. Very brief descriptions of each of the gods. Sometimes includes an image of the god and how the name appears in Egyptian.
WELCOME TO RIGBY'S WORLD OF EGYPT
http://www.powerup.com.au/~ancient/

Has links to 90 pages of Egypt.
Has a tour of Egypt.
Would be a good place to just let kids surf and follow what interests them.
Has a good, real brief synopsis of athe different periods of Egyptian history.
Has a tour of Egyptian Museum with a ton of pages. Runs a little slow because of all of the images.
The Magic and Mysteries of Ancient Egypt
http://www.verdenet.com/isis/

This is a very comprehensive site. Includes history, culture, people, climate. Has a very brief description of only a few rulers. Would be good page to let kids loose on and let explore.
The Wonders Of Ancient Egypt
Had problems connecting...
The Ancient Egypt Site
http://www.geocities.com/~amenhotep/

Slow to load.
Very comprehensive.
Has a very good timeline, the best so far, that includes all of the periods, dates and who reigned. Has a brief description of each of the periods of history. And an A to Z search. Could be confusing for kids to navigate.
Ancient Egypt
http://tqjunior.advanced.org/4368/

Think Quest site. Pretty elementary descriptions of pyramids, mummies, etc. The site was created by kids.
Has an egyptian challenge games that is kind of fun.
Has our alphabet in hieroglyphics.
Can be used in class without a problem.
Ancient Egypt Bingo Test Review Game & Unit Test
http://members.aol.com/Egyptkids/EgyptBingo.html

Fun assignment designed for 6th graders. Have them create bingo cards to prepare for the test.
Egypt Lesson
http://fos.stsci.edu/~mangiafico/elem_2.html

Designed for 3rd graders, has a hyperlink to Education Management Group that might be worth looking into.
Egypt
http://members.aol.com/TWard64340/Egypt.htm

Lesson plans for Egypt. Has a couple cool art projects, would be better for younger kids. Also has links on Egypt for both kids and adults. The links for kids are pretty silly, and the adult ones are not a whole lot better.
Egyptian Hieroglyphs
http://www2.torstar.com/rom/egypt/

Very cool. Does not have a letter to hieroglyph translation, but it allows you to put in letters or phrases and it will translate them for you.
Hieroglyph to Letter Decoder
http://www2.torstar.com/rom/egypt/cartolet.html

This is off the previous web site, allows you to decode from hieroglyphics into English, could give kids a sentence and have them translate it into English and have them check themselves on this site.
Corkankhamun Explains Mummification
http://members.aol.com/mumifyddog/index.html

Describes how mummies are made, why they are made, etc. A lot of text, would be great to use in class, but I don't think the kids could keep up with the reading, maybe use for an older class?
Very thorough page.
Teacher's Guide
http://www.clpgh.org/cmnh/tours/egypt/guide.html

Very detailed background information on Egyptian life, climate, etc. Includes suggested in class activities. Good reading for me, kids should avoid.
Egyptian Projects
http://www.xs4all.nl/~swanson/origins/egyptintro.html

Very, very slow to load.
Odyssey in Egypt
http://www.scriptorium.org/Odyssey/

Ten weeks of excavation. Intro for the kids. Would be complucated to do in a short period of time with the kids in the class.
NOVA Online | Ice Mummies of the Inca | Mummies of the World
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/peru/mummies/index.html

Good background, would not use this in class.
NOVA Online/Pyramids -- The Inside Story
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/pyramid/

Allows you to walk into the great pyramids. Has quick time movies, that obviously can not be used in class.
Life in Ancient Egypt
http://www.clpgh.org/cmnh/tours/egypt/walton.html

A sophisticated site. A museum site with good descriptions, a little dry for kids.
Has teacher resources, the pages of background information that has also been book marked.
Egypt: History - Pharaonic Dynasties
http://interoz.com/egypt/ehistory.htm

Has all of the dynasties listed with information on each of them. Very thorough textually and includes few pictures. Good back ground info, but not for use by kids, unless they are doing some research.
TrackStar: Ancient Egypt for Students
http://scrtec.org/track/tracks/t00024.html

An annotated bibliography of sites on ancient egypt. Has a couple good sites, also has a lot of sites that are really unrelated. Would be better for an older crowd.
Field Trip to Ancient Egypt
http://www.edcoe.k12.ca.us/egypt.html

Organized by a 6th grade class.
Fact sheet link does not work.
Map is from the PCL map collection.
Geography link is really detailed.
Has a really cool link to the diary of a guy traveling through Egypt, may be a little sophisticated for a younger crowd.
Might be a really good page just to let the kids surf.

ttp://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~shawn/egypt//gods.html

Straight text list of major gods. No pictures, etc. 
Ancient Egypt - Introduction: The Nile
http://carbon.cudenver.edu/stc-link/AE/index.html

A nice introduction to Egypt, very lengthy.Be great for research for older kids, but not middle school.

History/Social Studies Web Site for K-12 Teachers
http://www.execpc.com/~dboals/

This web site is a bit overwhelming. It has TONS of links that are not very well described, but most of them are worth checking out. It is a great place to start a search for just about any social studies curriculum topic.
CARTS: Online Resources
http://www.carts.org/o_resources.html

This is a web site designed to help educators navigate the tricky waters of cultural geography. Some very good links, as well as articles discussing how to deal with holidays and how to bring folk arts/tales into your teaching.
1997 World Factbook
http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/factbook/index.html

Say what you will about the CIA, but you have to admit they know their stuff about countries (even though they can't detect when India is getting ready to light off a nuke). The site provides a thumbnail sketch of every country in the world: leaders, geography, trade, etc.

HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS AND MAPS
http://macroserve.com/booklook/ne10000.htm

Although this web page advertises itself as a document and map resource, it does not have any maps. It does, however, include many primary source documents from across history and across the globe, with a lot of facsimiles.
PCL Map Collection
http://www.lib.utexas.edu/Libs/PCL/Map_collection/Map_collection.html

This is the Perry-Castaneda collection of maps. It is an extensive collection of current world maps as well as historical maps. A truly wonderful resource for visual learners and teachers! The only problem is that the maps are often too large to fit on one screen.
Cartographic Images Home Page
http://www.iag.net/~jsiebold/carto.html

This is a great collection of ancient and medieval maps. The maps are low-res, but they are still quite good. Excellent resource for maps for overheads, etc. Fun to see how much maps have changed.
Exhibitions: Maps:
http://portico.bl.uk/exhibitions/maps/overview.html

This includes 7 famous maps in the evolution of cartography. Great page to walk studetns through because it doesn't have a million maps, just a few to concentrate on. The maps are not very valuable for their accuracy, but for their design and depiction of the ways in which people envisioned the world.
Understanding Maps
http://www.usgs.gov/education/learnweb/Maps.html

This is the USGS's attempt to provide teachers with a plan to teach maps and navigation skills. Worth a look as a resource, but not invaluable.
Rare Map Collection
http://scarlett.libs.uga.edu/darchive/hargrett/maps/maps.html

This is a U of Georgia web page and has a southern slant. It has some wonderful old maps of the civil and revolutionary wars. The maps are too big to fit on one screen, but for war or map buffs they are priceless. Web master was nice enough to indicate file size next to the title of the maps.
Online Map Creation
http://www.aquarius.geomar.de/omc/

This site kicks butt. I am sure there are few sites out there that offer the same service (allow you to mamke your own maps), but I found this one. You enter lat. and long. as well as your preferences for what should appear on the map and boom! out it comes. The quality is not stellar, but it would be a great tool to teach kids about the different components of a map.

http://l2l.ed.psu.edu/success/lessons/lesson11/hssd2%5Fl.htm

This is a lesson plan to walk studetns through the profession of cartography. Would be great to combine this lesson with a look at some of the ancient map making sites to give kids a visual on how maps have evolved over the years.
ReliefWeb Map Centre
http://www.reliefweb.int/mapc/index.html

More maps! Yeah! The map selection is limited to places where relief operations are underway (look at the page and surprise yourself with how many areas this includes!) But the maps are very clear, include country and city names and the web master has been nice enough to tell you how large the files are. The maps are unmaniputable (can not change size or perspective). World maps show the distribution of UN field units.
Outline Maps
http://www.eduplace.com/ss/ssmaps/index.html

I firmly believe that one can not have too many map resources. This is yet another sight with world maps (current). You can't manipulate them (enlarge or change perspective) and they are just a down and dirty black and white image, but I think this would be great place to get blanks for map quizzes, etc. The maps do not have any country or city names on them, just stars for where the capital cities are located.

Geography Resources

Oregon Geographic Alliance
http://geog.pdx.edu/oga/index.html
EnviroLink Home Page
http://www.envirolink.org/

This is billed as THE environmental page and it lives up to the title. If you see geography as a teachable moment to help students understand human impact on the environment, this is your page. It provides news clips on environmental crisis as well as tips to help students live a more earth-friendly life.
Telecom Amazon Adventure Home Page
http://vif27.icair.iac.org.nz/

This is a fun page. It presents all sorts of pictures and facts about the Amazon in a travel diary type format. It is a little simple for older kids, but I think it would be a great template for some sort of long, creative project for students.
The Gateway
http://www.thegateway.org/

This is basically a store house of lesson plans, they occasionally include readings that can be downloaded. The problem is that most of the lesson plans are for young kids, but I think they could be adapted to fit a more mature crowd.
The Teaching Geography Page
http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~rwilliams/

Site includes teaching hints and ideas for the field of geography, as well as lots of links to sites concerned with renewable energy, disasters, coastlines, etc. Web master provides blurbs on every links to help you do selective surfing. Definately worth a look!
3G on W3: The Great Globe Gallery on the World Wide Web
http://hum.amu.edu.pl/~zbzw/glob/glob1.htm

This page has all sorts of images of the earth. Not just maps, but satellite images, maps featuring earthquake areas, population density, etc.
Welcome to Geo-Globe: Interactive Geography!
http://library.advanced.org/10157/

This is a very cool site, I think kids would really enjoy surfing this one. It has all sorts of games and quizzes about geography. It provides hyperlinks so that if the student gets a question wrong they can go read more about the specific country or topic.
North American Quilt: A Living Geography Project
http://www.onlineclass.com/NAQ/NAQhome.html

The theory behind this page is that students from all around the US would contribute geography information to one big cyberquilt. The page is really not that exciting, but I thought the idea behind it was really cool, and again could serve as a template for a creative class project.
Mount St. Helens
http://volcano.und.nodak.edu/vwdocs/msh/msh.html

Remember May 18th? This page has a lot of pictures before and after the eruption as well as some information on the geology of volcanos. The info on the page is not very in-depth (like not at all, but the pictures are enough to tell the story). Kinda cool to be able to study something so close to home!
Jewels of the Mekong
http://www.pata.org/patanet/mekong/index.html

This page includes history, pictures and cultural information about all of the countries that share the banks of the Mekong River. The information given is brief, but accurate. It is enough to wet students' appetites to learn more about the people who live along the banks of this amazing and beautiful river.
