Corn (maize) was a staple in the Aztec culture. Show the Aztec’s sophisticated corn-growing techniques in a realistic diorama.

Research the role of corn in ancient Aztec culture. In what area of the Americas did the Aztecs live? When? Why was agriculture, and especially corn, so important to them? How was it grown?

Stand a small box, such as a shoebox, on its side. If you wish, cut out the top to make an open scene. To make terraces for your cornfield, fold cereal box cardboard back and forth like a staircase.

With Crayola Gel Markers and Twistable Crayons, color the background inside the box. You might make a mountain with sun and clouds. For a 3-D effect, such as trees, draw items on recycled file folders, cut them out, and glue inside the box.
