Ancient Egypt Research Challenges

I used these worksheets with Year 3 and Year 4 classes, when finding out about aspects of Ancient Egypt. They were intended as the start of independent research, to encourage the use of different sources of information and the use of these sources to check and extend what is found out.
The sheets are;

1. What I know about Ancient Egypt – Used at the start of the topic to establish a pupil’s existing knowledge and encourage them to think about what they could research.
2. Gods meaning challenge – This sheet gives pupils the names of 8 of the most common Egyptian gods and goddesses to make key notes about.
3. People places meaning challenge – These two sheets give pupils 9 terms or names of people and places most commonly associated with Ancient Egypt to make key notes about.
4. Word meaning challenge – This sheet gives pupils 5 further terms most commonly associated with Ancient Egypt to make key notes about.
