Ever wondered how people in the ancient Greek and Roman worlds lifted stones, built temples and moved mountains - all without electricity or engines? They used simple machines to get the job done! Grab a free copy of the activity booklet for Six Simple Machines, and learn about ancient engineering while you view the Bricks of Olympus LEGO exhibition at the Teece Museum. This activity booklet counts as a half hour stamp for Children's University.
