Buildings, walls, towers, and pyramids! Learn how ancient builders made old and famous structures without modern machines. Create your own structure and learn what it’s like to live on top of a mountain like the ancient people of Machu Picchu. While the lesson plan incorporates many different Pennsylvania Learning Standards, it focuses on the key learning area of “Approaches to Learning through Play”. Specifically, students will learn to engage in learning activities that meet the PA Standard Areas of Constructing, Organizing, and Applying Knowledge.
