Seventh Grade Latin students Research How the Roman people Built Aqueducts

In Latin class students learned about the Roman waterways, and came to the eurekaLab to try to create their own out of the materials we have available. Using their prior knowledge of design and laser cutting, some created their arches out of cardboard. Others chose to represent mountains out of chicken wire and felt, but everyone understood the concept of a reverse siphon and got them working. These projects were larger than in years past, I suspect because we have more room in the new classroom, and a larger laser cutter that can produce bigger pieces.
