Investigate Ancient Egypt with Sandbox

About

Step into the role of an archaeologist in the Sandbox app and explore Luxor Temple, a monumental site of Ancient Egypt. Investigate its colossal statues, towering obelisks, hieroglyph-covered walls, and an avenue of criosphinxes to uncover how temples reflected Egyptian beliefs, power, and daily life. Through scaffolded inquiry, students will analyze key architectural and religious features, developing skills in historical thinking, critical analysis, and evidence-based reasoning. By comparing Ancient Egypt’s religious practices to modern sacred spaces, they will reflect on continuity, change, and cultural legacy. This classroom activity aligns with the C3 Framework for Social Studies State Standards and is compatible with Chromebook and iPad devices.
