Ancient Egyptian Shadufs

Badgers Class has been exploring how Ancient Egyptian farmers relied on the River Nile to grow crops in a dry climate. As part of their topic, the children learned how traditional irrigation tools were used to water the fields. To bring their learning to life, the class designed and built their own working model shadufs, testing how well their levers could lift water.
