3D Pyramid of Power: STEAM Mini Project
 
In this hands-on Ancient Egypt project, pupils explore social hierarchy and power by designing and building a 3D Pyramid of Power that shows how Ancient Egyptian society was structured.

Engage students in learning about Ancient Egyptian society and hierarchy through a hands-on, project-based STEAM history challenge that brings social structure to life.
 
HOW does it work?
Using the CREATE framework, students explore the roles of different groups in Ancient Egyptian society, experiment with balance and structure, build a 3D Pyramid of Power, explain why each group belongs where it does, and evaluate how effectively their model represents society.
