Consider cultures studied this year. Find or create images, sounds or videos that illustrate the cultures' use of mathematics or science. Use the list above for ideas.

Using the images, sounds or videos, create a product with a presentation tool or other information sharing program listed in the information technology menu to demonstrate how the achievements have had a lasting impact.

How has the math or science achievement improved or made easier the lives of the people in that culture?
