Abstract	In this activity, students work with specified materials to create aqueduct components to transport two liters of water across a short distance in the classroom. The goal is to build an aqueduct that will supply Aqueductis, a Roman city, with clean water for private homes, public baths, and glorious fountains. By introducing various ideas and themes from the social studies curriculum on Ancient Rome and an additional modeling project, it can be modified into an interdisciplinary activity. This activity requires a 200-minute time period over four days for completion. (Author/SOE)
