Learn History in a new way with Excavate! Mesopotamia, an immersive social studies game for middle school students! Use Archaeological thinking to apply C3 skills of Inquiry and Evaluation of Evidence to aspects of Mesopotamian daily life not covered in textbooks. By excavating and analyzing four significant locations, players will:
· Explore the significance of Sumerian art
· Gain a new perspective on the role of the military in ancient Assyria
· Describe the role of gods in Babylonian society
· Distinguish the roles of women and men in Mesopotamian societies
· Compare and contrast the lifestyles of the Babylonians, Assyrians and Sumerians
· Piece together daily life
· Explain architectural innovations that were used to build temples and palaces
Players can explore the sites in any order; progress is recorded in journals that log collected artifacts, field notes and achievements. Throughout the game, players use C3 skills to analyze and make connections. They carefully deduct the facts about each area, stratum by stratum and artifact by artifact. At each location, players make meaning of how artifacts were used through a series of analysis questions and reports that require players to make connections, read closely and consider the historical context of the primary source artifacts. Finally, players see each site come alive as artifacts populate an historically accurate image of Mesopotamian life.

Excavate! Series:
Excavate! Mesopotamia is one of a series of civilizations available on the Google Play store. Check out our Rome, Greece, MesoAmerica, Byzantine and Egypt apps.
Built in consultation with social studies teachers, Excavate! uses overarching questions to focus student inquiry as they dig, analyze, report and learn through object-based evaluation. Highly detailed, historically accurate illustrations and artifacts help students make connections and see the “big picture” of ancient history. Interaction with artifacts, including detailed 3D models, allows students to understand what life was really like for people of different social roles. Extensive in-game resources such as comprehensive location and artifact information and an interactive glossary make it easy to extend the learning off the screen. Supporting educator materials, standards information and extension activities help educators seamlessly include Excavate! in any ancient history curriculum. Track student performance using the new GBLxAPI learning data format, which reports student progress against C3 and ELA standards in an easy to read format. Excavate! is a multi-game series that includes old and new world civilizations such as Mesopotamia, Egypt, Maya, Inca and more. Game bundles and bulk discounts are available.
