A view of the Pont du Gard, a Roman aqueduct in southern France.

Download this image of the Pont du Gard in France and try out some of these suggestions for classroom activities with your students:

Aqueducts were used to move water. Locate Roman aqueducts on a map and identify where the water was coming from and where it was going.
Learn more about arches and build your own arch on the BBC's website.
Vocabulary lesson: Latin aqua = water and duct = lead. What other words to you know that have these Latin roots?

We'd love to hear your ideas! If you've done a lesson on Roman aqueducts, the Pont du Gard or France and have any ideas for the classroom, let us know in the comments section! You could be our next guest blogger!
