see: intricate detailing on the bell, has knobs on it that make vibrations shorter, and it looks very heavy 
think: Shi Huangdi had appreciation and fondness for music and thought rituals were important to ancient China, and allowed the time it took for each intricate part of the bell to be made 
wonder: how long did it take to learn how to make these bells, and how long did it take to make each one?

-4 unified horses
-an umbrella canopy
-light/tall/bronze chariot
2)Think
-This suggests that Shi Huangdi in great abundance, cared significantly about his afterlife. He wanted to continue his rule, and wanted natural things that felt similar to everyday life with him buried. He cared a lot about being a significant ruler that was recognized fore eternity. 
3) Wonder
-Were any young children soldiers created?
-Have any statues crumbled/broke from the long period of time of them laying buried?

See: 

• Bows made of metal
• Weaponry
• Indestructable

Think:

• These arrows and the trigger mechanism were probably used by the Han army and was placed with the terra cotta army as a defense mechanism. Shi most likely believe that he could use this weaponry in his afterlife

Wonder

• Did Shi Hunagdhi place all of these artifacts in hopes of living in the after life to still be leader and be immortal.

See: warrior, made out of clay, horse

Think: Shi Huangdi wanted his soldiers to be skilled at training horses and wanted his soldiers to be able to use horses to ride in battle. They were a good source of transportation because it was faster than if soldiers were on foot.

1) Chinese inscriptions on the side of the weight 
2) round, flat on the bottom, handle on the top, rusty 
3) looks like its made from heavy material

Wonder: 
What is an Edict? Why did this have to be on the side of every weight?]]> 2020-12-08 18:26:27 UTC https://padlet.com/oceansideschooldistrict/2dhlwl4eg8dq2eyu/wish/999437245 https://padlet.com/oceansideschooldistrict/2dhlwl4eg8dq2eyu/wish/999438266 -Jake Kenney

-Made out of hardened clay
-This had 5 sides, which means it was named after its description
-Looks like it can hold weight and give support

Think:
Shi Huangdi was expecting a greater afterlife and put this pipe into place so that underground did not flood, and this was used for a plumbing system. 

Wonder:
Why was the pipe the shape of a pentagon, and not a circle? ]]> 2020-12-08 18:26:51 UTC https://padlet.com/oceansideschooldistrict/2dhlwl4eg8dq2eyu/wish/999439266 https://padlet.com/oceansideschooldistrict/2dhlwl4eg8dq2eyu/wish/999439824 See:

1. four horses 
2. an umbrella 
3. a driver holding the reigns 
Think:
This artifact tells us that Shi Huangdi was very nervous about the idea of death, and what would occur after. This is because a chariot was  a common object that he would see around China, and I think it gave him a sense of normality. 
Wonder: 
In the video clip it said that these chariots were very fragile and could only really work in China, with that, were these chariots made especially for Chinese roads?]]> 2020-12-08 18:27:13 UTC https://padlet.com/oceansideschooldistrict/2dhlwl4eg8dq2eyu/wish/999441089 https://padlet.com/oceansideschooldistrict/2dhlwl4eg8dq2eyu/wish/999441296 See:  A mini tiger

think- the emperor wanted to have what was important to him and what he built to carry on with him. This suggests that he was afraid of what came after death and wanted to be prepared with the only the empires best to protect him.
wonder- Why did the first emperor need this specific artifact to be buried with him? what made this particular piece so significant?]]> 2020-12-08 18:27:28 UTC https://padlet.com/oceansideschooldistrict/2dhlwl4eg8dq2eyu/wish/999442500 https://padlet.com/oceansideschooldistrict/2dhlwl4eg8dq2eyu/wish/999442539 See-
