We are starting history this year with Ancient Egypt. I am trying to come up with some Science topics and experiments to go along with it.
We are looking at building a miniature aqueduct (if we can't do that, I have a computer program that can simulate one).
I need some other ideas. Do you have any that you have done yourselves or do you have any internet sites that might be useful?
Thank you for your help. 
Blessings,
Krisann

Hi Krisann, we're going back to the Ancients in about 2 weeks. Right now we're planning to build a shaduf and mummify something, probably an apple. Do you have the book "Science in Ancient Egypt"? There may be some ideas there too.

I don't have that book. Thanks for the tip, I will have to see if they have it at our library.
Are the instructions for the shaduf in that book? What a neat idea. We will have to add that to our lesson plan.
Thank you!
Krisann

Astronomy would be nice to study along with Ancient Egypt. For modern Astronomy we really like Stargazer with Jack Horkheimer, if you are in Miami you can meet him at Miami Museum of Science & Planetarium.
A Field Guide to the Stars and Planets (Peterson Field Guide Series),or a similar book, is nice.
Make a Star Finder,
Launch a "Rocket" from a Spinning "Planet" is a lot of fun,
if you like glitter, here's a Recipe for a Galactic Mobile,
we are fascinated with Cassini-Huygens,
basic kid's NASA site with lots of links to other kid sites,
the Science Freebies thread has links to Cassini probe models, sun stuff, star charts...

I found this PBS site with lots of lesson plans for the program Egypt's Golden Empire. There are also several links at the bottom. I may use lots of this later this year.
