3. 2 cardboard boxes will make the base for a model aqueduct. Cut away the front of each box and half of the sides. Shape them down to about 10cm in height. The colonnade of arches can be made using strips of cardboard 40cm long and 10cm wide. There will need to be a very slight downhill fall on them so make each one ½ cm shorter than the next. Glue the lowest 3cm of the arches together with the 40cm arch on the left, then the 39 ½ cm arch and so on. © Original resource copyright Hamilton Trust, who give permission for it to be adapted as wished by individual users.

4. Make a slit down the side of the cardboard rolls and snip all the way around the bottom with short cuts (about 1 ½ cm). Decorate paper rectangles with a pattern of stone blocks and stick these to the cardboard columns. Stick the columns to the cardboard base at equal spacing across your 2 boxes (these are 14cm apart). The first and last columns should wrap around the edge of the box, the middle one should wrap around the edge of both boxes to link them together (see next slide). © Original resource copyright Hamilton Trust, who give permission for it to be adapted as wished by individual users.

5. This photo shows the column straddling the join between the two boxes. Draw around the curve of the arch Now draw a wedge shape in the centre Finally draw a curve about 1 ½ cm above Then draw a curve about 2 ½ cm below it Hold a strip of card against the front of each arch so that it is resting on the top of the columns © Original resource copyright Hamilton Trust, who give permission for it to be adapted as wished by individual users.

6. Cut out the arch shape. Draw lines around the arch radiating out from the imaginary centre point. Now cut flaps up to the all the way along the top curve and fold them back. Glue the flaps thinly with PVA and press them against the arch. Do this for all the arches. © Original resource copyright Hamilton Trust, who give permission for it to be adapted as wished by individual users.

7. Add a second column to back of each arch by gluing the flaps with PVA. Stick them down onto the base of the box so the slit encloses the back of each arch and holds it firmly in place. © Original resource copyright Hamilton Trust, who give permission for it to be adapted as wished by individual users.
