Drive Thru History® Adventures

Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way.

Over the past weeks my daughter has been working through Bible Unearthed from Drive Thru History Adventures. "Bible Unearthed is a 12-part series that explores the history, importance, and impact of archaeology - and how discoveries help us better understand the ancient world!" This course is a digital, online course that is designed to be completed in 12 weeks. One Adventure is to be completed each week. Each adventure includes a video, a written exposition/breakout, worksheets, and "Dig Deeper" articles. This is intended to be a self-paced course so students can definitely go at their own pace. Younger students may need more time, while the older student may be glean from the extra additional reading that is suggested. 

So what does a week look like?

Monday: Watch an episode and read the written exposition

Tuesday: Complete optional activity

Wednesday: Read the Dig Deeper articles and/or other research

Thursday: Re-watch the weekly episode and review the written material

Friday: Complete worksheets 

For the older, more advanced student Drive Thru History® Adventures recommends, Unearthing the Bible by Titus Kennedy. 

The following episodes are included in Bible Unearthed:

1. What is Archaeology
2. The Impact of Archaeology
3. Locating Archaeological Sites
4. The Life of an Archaeologist
5. What's Being Discovered Today
6. Archaeological Mysteries
7. Top Discoveries in Bible Archaeology 
8. Getting Involved with Archaeology 
9. Trends in Archaeology 
10. Weird Archaeology 
11. Accidental Discoveries in Archaeology 
12. What's Left to be Discovered? 

Episode 6 entitled, Archaeological Mysteries, is 14:38 in length. The discussion is very intriguing as Dave Stotts and his colleagues tackle many archaeological mysteries such as, Where  is the Ark of the Covenant? and Why was Stonehenge actually built? These are just two of the many mysteries that are covered in Episode 6. 

Directing beneath the video there is text that the student is to read. The

text is more or less a summary of the video. It includes pictures of 

important archaeological items discussed during the video. 

Each video has a scripture reference to go along with it. For 

Episode 6 the scripture reading is, Isaiah 64:8 which says,

“But now, O Yahweh, You are our Father, We are the clay, and You our potter; 

And all of us are the work of Your hand.” 

The Optional Activity for this Episode is for the student to, "Drawing pottery and recognizing its type and date is a useful skill in archaeology. Look at some pottery images, make some basic sketches of them, and try to identify the date and type (bowl, lamp, cooking pot, krater, storage jar, jug, cult vessel)."

There are two Dig Deeper Articles for this Episode. The first is entitled, Pottery in Archaeology and the second is entitled, Solomonic Gates. 

Here are some of the discussion questions from various episodes. 

My daughter said, "I haven't ever studied archaeology before. I found Drive Thru History® Adventures, Bible Unearthed to be interesting. I have learned a lot from these episodes."
