Provost Elementary School

Hey Provost, Mr. Sprunger’s 6th grade class learned about an engineering structure that was developed during ancient times by the Minoans and was used by the ancient Greeks, the middle East, and ancient Rome, used to transfer water supply across great distances. The structure is called an aqueduct and it plays a fundamental role in the irrigation of areas for growing crops and other things.

As part of the lesson, Mr. Sprunger’s 6th graders learned how to build their own aqueducts by using craft items, like plastic straws, paper cups, tin foil, and “duct” tape.

Great job to you 6th grade students for strengthening your engineering minds!
