Work “in situ”. |
| Description: |
This proposal is focussed on the study of the principles of Roman Engineering to strengthen experimentation techniques, physics and Maths. We start this activity by analysis the way it was built and its architectural elements. Then we work out its height and unevenness as well as the flow of the water.
