Roman Aquaducts
We've been studying ancient Rome for the past couple of weeks and of course there are a lot of aspects of their lives that really appealed to my boys. They loved learning about Gladiators and fighting and more gladiators and more fighting.... ah for the love of boys. But they were also fascinated with Roman architecture and building. Here's our version of the Roman aquaduct.

You might want to try showing them how an aqueduct is built using blocks and the arch design. The arch is what gave the aqueduct such tremendous permanence... it also blends right into discussions about "Keystones" and such, which I'm sure yo uare already aware of and have probably already had (LOL!). Neat project :).
Fun! What an idea. Your boys are getting so big. Handsome too!
