How did the civilisation of Egypt wax and wane?

This teaching toolkit takes a fresh look at this much-taught topic and provides the basis for a rigorous enquiry led approach for children in key stage 2. Packed full of ideas and links to resources, this toolkit provides a step by step guide to teaching the Egyptians from why they built pyramids, why they traded, to how interpretations of pharaohs and queens and their actions have been influenced over time and how ancient Egyptian culture came to be fused with ancient Greek. This unit centres around a single enquiry: How did the civilization of Egypt wax and wane?
