Gather your expedition party, bring a few snacks, sit around the computer, and we'll begin our online journey to the pyramids of Egypt.

A simple Google search will bring up a multitude of websites regarding the pyramids. With so many choices, you can afford to be selective in the pages you decide to visit. Look for sites posted by associations with reputations for education, such as museums and science magazines. If a website's material seems thrown together haphazardly, move on to another site. If you are a little choosy in the pages you visit, it will make your virtual journey that much more rewarding.

Getting Started: A Site for Junior Explorers

Ancient Egypt is a great topic to explore with young children because it really captures their imaginations. A virtual trip to the pyramids, with their color and mystery, is a fantastic way to open young minds to the idea that history can be fun. Children between the ages of 8 and 12 will get the most out of this site.

National Museums Scotland: Egyptian Tomb Adventure: The information on this website is delivered as a fun interactive game in which you solve a series of simple but entertaining puzzles involving maps and hieroglyphs. This will lead you inside the tomb of a pyramid, where you will learn about the Egyptian gods, tomb artifacts, and a mummy. At the end of the quest, you'll receive a printable certificate of completion.
