Summary: Great history of science activities
Comment: There are lots of great ideas in this book to really get inside how the ancient Greeks and Romans lived, but what I liked best was the science and math experiements to learn about the advances in math by Archimedes, Pythagoras, and the other scientists. This is really helping us tie together our history and science studies.

Summary: Great activities!
Comment: This book has loads of great activities to enhance study of the ancients. Activities require only standard items found around the house and have very understandable instructions.

Summary: Guide to Snoresville
Comment: Absolutely boring...my students laughed at some of the suggestions. I just had to return it. My sixth graders would have done a far better job writing this book than the author. It wasn't worth the restocking fee either!

Summary: A fun supplement to the study of ancient history
Comment: We prefer a literature approach to homeschooling, but also love books like this that bring in creative hands-on activities. Our preferred history spine for Ancient cultures is "Our Young Folks' Josephus" which not only covers Israel, but also all the cultures that affect her including Greece and Rome. "Classical Kids" is a great addition to our homeschool. It includes fun crafts that reflect ancient Greek and Roman arts, as well as great science projects. Along with "Archimedes and the Door of Science" and "Galen and the Gateway to Medicine" it is a wonderful part of our ancient history studies.

Summary: Bring Antiquity Alive
Comment: This is a must have book. The projects are easy, usually with things you have around the house. But the simple, one or two paragraph historical perspective offered about the activity is great for a 5 year old or 18 year old. The Greek and Roman recipes were super and we've kept them on our weekly schedules even though we've moved on to the Middle Ages now. Enjoy this book. You may have lots of crafts and activity books around the house (we do), but you'll do over 75% of these.
