What you’ll build
Test how far water flows along a flat channel, then use what you learn to step your channel down so it never runs dry. Build tall arches across a valley, run the water along the top and follow it all the way to a fountain in town.
Finish line: Your arched aqueduct carries flowing water all the way downhill to a fountain in the town square.
Bonus challenge: Add a settling pool halfway where the water spreads out, then flows on. Can you keep the flow going after the pool?
You’ll need
- Water buckets
- Stone or brick blocks
- Squared paper
You choose
- My aqueduct's name
- The water ends in a: fountain / pool / bath house
- My bet: water flows ___ blocks on flat ground
Stuck?
- Water stopping short? On flat ground it only flows about 7 blocks, so drop the channel 1 block before it runs out.
- Pour from the very top. The water only flows downhill and away from the source.
- Water spilling out? Give the channel walls on both sides, at least 1 block high.
