Ancient Civilization PBL

Students started this journey by crafting their own questions. They took one ancient culture ( Inca, Aztec, or Maya) and one aspect of society ( military, food, families, technology, government) and set out to learn about that culture through research and discover how they impacted society today. The results are on display at STEAM night in the format of an authentic museum format complete with artifacts.
