古埃及探索！木乃伊、詛咒、墳墓、神、動手做計畫！

Ready to become an Egyptologists? Don't worry, no experience necessary! 

This class is uniquely designed to provide ample opportunities for learning by using fun, hands on lessons and enrichment activities following each class!

In this class we will learn about some of the most interesting parts of Ancient Egypt!

Here is what you can expect each week!

Day One: Ancient hieroglyphs - We will take a field trip to Egypt and look at hieroglyphs. Once we have an understanding of this ancient language, students will get to decode secret messages and write their own! 

Day Two: Life After Death - In this class we will learn about the mummification process, burial rituals, and The Book of the Dead. Students will design their own tomb at the end of this class, although they may need to continue working on it at home. As an optional extension of the live class, students can go on virtual field trips of Egyptian tombs (these are external links that will be provided in the classroom).

Day Three: The Ancient Egyptians believed in many gods. In this class we will learn about some of their most important gods, their roles, and how they looked. Students will design a tomb for a god (or themselves). Again, this may continue after class depending on time and complexity of their tomb. As an optional extension of the live class, students will create a graphic of their favorite god or create their own.

Day Four: The Curse of the Mummy - What happened to the people who opened King Tutankhamun's tomb? Could there actually be a curse? I will present you with the facts that we know and then you will get to decide the answer to that question for yourself. As an optional extension of the live class, students will be directed to a video on YouTube to learn more about this famous Pharoah.
