Publisher's Synopsis
As children "discover" ancient Egypt with this kit, they also develop the broader ability to organize and interpret evidence from a variety of sources. Working as amateur archaeologists and historians, pupils can explore and reconstruct ancient villages, homes and tombs (including the pyramids).;Other projects encourage them to gather cultural clues from jewellery, clothing and religious artefacts. The kit also emphasizes the role of Egypt's most notable geographical features - the desert and the river Nile - in the shaping of ancient Egyptian society.;Contents of this kit include books and booklets, magazines, project planner cards and wallcharts.
