Inquiry

My group and I worked together to research information on Mesopotamia and ancient Egypt’s large scale infrastructure and compare the two. We spend a few days searching the internet for information and details we could use in comparing the two. We also made a hand build Pyramid and Ziggurat to show the difference between the two structures. By the end of our project, my group and I were able to understand the differences between both architectural structures as well and learn more information and Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia.

Core Competency’s

Creative thinking took place when my group and I build a ziggurat and a Pyramid. I know a Pyramid looks easy, but it takes some skill and effort to be able to cut out 4 identical walls and hold them perfectly to glue. An extra piece we added on to the pyramid so looked less boring is that you are able to open up the pyramid to see inside. Inside was a replica of what a real pyramid looked liked. I think being able to see inside the pyramid was a part of creative thinking because we came up with a good way to make our piece more interesting and understandable.
