REVIEW:
The Empires: A Study of Ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome site was developed by kids for kids. It's a great site to supplement any study of the ancient empires. Each of the three main areas, Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, and Ancient Rome, includes factual information on the empire; interactive online activities such as quizzes, jigsaws, crosswords, flashcards, and timelines; directions for making materials or crafts that are representative of the culture; recipes; and other related resources. Visitors to the site can also tale a virtual tour of the Ancient World Exhibit that was produced by these students to show different aspects of their learning about the ancient empires.
