The New Seven Wonders of the World

Invite students to travel the world as they explore the New Seven Wonders of the World with this engaging research activity! Chosen at the start of the new millennium, the New Seven Wonders of the World include seven remarkable sites from around the world: Petra, the Great Wall of China, the Roman Colosseum, Chichén Itzá, Machu Picchu, the Taj Mahal, and Christ the Redeemer. Designed for middle school learners, this two-page worksheet features a photo of each site and asks students to use their research skills to identify the name, location, and original function of each monument.
