Water aqueduct shaping
This resource from the IET Faraday programme, supported by MEI and Tomorrow's Engineers, provides students the opportunity to explore the volume of water that passes through aqueducts.
"Aqueducts are constructed to carry watercourses across gaps such as valleys or ravines. In modern engineering, the term aqueduct is used for any system of pipes, ditches, canals, tunnels, and other structures used for this purpose. Aqueducts can be used to enable water to be transported to areas where it is in short supply."
The resources include a presentation that introduces the activity and a series of questions for students to explore. The teaching guide includes classroom suggestions and discussion points, extension activity, answers and curriculum links.
