Arcventure The Egyptians
Grades 2-6, Win/Mac
Discover the world of Ancient Egypt, first by
excavating and discovering ruins, then travel back in time to ask
the Ancient Egyptians about the objects you have found! Arcventure:
The Egyptians is designed to help students (aged 7-11 years) explore
Ancient Egyptian life. When time traveling in Ancient times students
are able to explore the area, talk to and ask questions of the
people who live and work in Giza, Memphis and El-Amarna. The
students are also able to access a journal throughout the adventure,
which allows them to make notes about their progress and their
findings. Student journals can also be accessed through the teacher
controls, from which you can print or copy/paste it into a
word-processing document such as Word. Arcventure: The Egyptians is
a fantastic way to bring history to life!
Teacher controls are available to control difficulty levels, turn
the narration and sound effects on or off, or protect access to
teacher controls with a password. Student records are available that
show each students progress in the program.
Activities:
• Excavation - You are allowed a total of 14 days for the excavation
and are allotted a spade, trowel, brush, and magnifying glass in
which to dig! Choose your instruments wisely for each takes a
different amount of time away from your day so clever strategy would
be helpful here!
• Information Hut - At the end of each day's digging you can return
to the information hut to look more closely at the objects you have
found. The computer database contains information about most of the
objects found in the excavation.
• Expeditions - If you find an object that is listed as unknown in
the information hut, you will need to travel back to Ancient Egypt
to find more about it. In the expedition you will find yourself in
the pyramids you have just been excavating. Remember that you are on
a fact-finding mission and you should keep a careful note of the
information you find.
