Ancient Egypt Building Challenge

For each unit I teach, I like to have the students complete a building challenge. They are presented with an invention from that time period and they have to recreate this invention using the supplies I provide. This teaches critical and reflective thinking, teamwork, and provides a deeper connection to the society being studied.

This lessons focus is on the Shaduf from Ancient Egypt. You can also purchase all four activities in my Ancient History Building Challenge Bundle.


Included in this Lesson:
• Teacher Instructions and Answer Key
