Tenth graders explore the engineering genius of Rome — aqueducts, roads, bridges, and sewers alongside temples, forums, and amphitheaters — sorting the functional feats from the great public buildings.
Students will be able to…
Rome built to last — aqueducts, roads, and grand buildings still stand today. Which were engineering feats, and which were public buildings?
Project this and sort each into ingenium (engineering feats) or aedificia (public buildings).
Tap any phase to open the teacher moves and student actions.
