Vikings
Grades 3-8, Win/Mac
Step into the time tunnel and find yourself in a Viking town. You'll
uncover 165 archaeological artifacts, and meet experts who let you
try on the hats of the historian, archaeologist, and scientist in
this incredibly rich resource. Meet Viking people and hear about
their fascinating lives. The program's easy-to-navigate interface
lets you explore a time line, exhibitions with archeological and
historical finds, a map of Viking towns, and a real excavation dig.
Attractive graphics and high-quality photos give students a close
look at rune stones, crosses, glass beads, combs, and other
well-preserved Viking artifacts. How can you tell a Viking town by
its name? Where did the Vikings come from? Who was Aethelred the
Unready? Narrated text and interactive graphics will lead you to the
answers for all sorts of questions like these. Learn about stories
of Viking gods and heroes, then read the illustrated "Saga of Sigurd
the Dragonslayer." Become a historian and learn how to examine
sources of evidence such as runes and other writings on wood and
stone. Visit the archeologist in the Site Office to investigate the
processes of sieving, digging, dating, preserving, and recording.
Discover how scientists conserve, examine and display artifacts.
Clicking on a Viking coin in the corner of the screen sends you back
in time to 950, where you can enter a Viking town and meet Erik, a
slave, a trader, and many others. Audio files accompany informative
text, and you can even hear what the Viking language sounded like!
Students will be completely immersed in the culture and lore of the
Vikings with this comprehensive and compelling resource. Produced in
conjunction with the world-renowned Jorvic Center in York, England,
Vikings includes over 500 photographs, videos, and drawings as well
as realistic voice and sound samples to make it the world's finest
