Lesson Plans

Using 3-D archaeological data students will build scale models of a Mayan pyramid using sugar cubes. Using the sugar cube pyramids, students will then conduct an experiment on erosion to learn about its affect on archaeological sites. Who said science can't be sweet?


How could global warming affect our cities and monuments? Using an online, interactive map and a hands-on activity, students will investigate the potential effect of rising sea levels caused by global warming.


Take a virtual field trip! Students will create a virtual tour or create a digital travel brochure of a historical site. Students will narrate their tour using the power of their voice and media from CyArk's website.


Everyone has a story to tell! Students will write their own fictional story about a person living in a historical period and then create a digital story using pictures, videos, and other multimedia.


Students play the role of surveyors by drawing a scale map of a building on campus. Students will then use scale to measure historical buildings and measure their school in Google Maps.


Ready to go on a virtual scavenger hunt? Using the maps on the CyArk website students will use the clues to complete a scavenger hunt at Pompeii, Ancient Thebes, and Deadwood USA.


Students create their own map in Google My Maps and place photos and videos on the maps for their mapping projects.
