My child watched a history channel documentary about the Colosseum in Rome. He then used what he learned to make a scale replica of the Colosseum in Minecraft.

• Learned about the history of the Colosseum in Rome
• Understood the purpose and significance of the Colosseum in ancient Rome
• Developed spatial awareness and understanding of scale by creating a replica in Minecraft
• Learned about architecture and design of the Colosseum
• Explored the concept of engineering and construction in ancient times

Continued development could include exploring other ancient structures and their significance, researching the different types of gladiators and their roles in the Colosseum, or even creating a virtual tour of the Colosseum in Minecraft to share with others.
