About this activity
Three 3D test stations: tune Cree and Innu snowshoes, early Inuit snow goggles and a Roman aqueduct to the land, run each test, explain the problem it solved, then match each invention to a tool used today.
What students learn
- A3.6: Describe how snowshoes (First Nations such as the Cree and Innu), snow goggles (early Inuit) and Roman aqueducts worked as technology
- A3.3: Explain how each invention helped daily life and travel in the environment people lived in
- Apply a simple rule (spreading weight, blocking glare, gravity) to design each invention for a new place
