Has anyone had to make a Brick for social studies class
l have to make a Brick, Mesopotamian standards.It can be made out of
anything BUT NOT cement, plaster, tile grout.It has to withstand up to 50
pounds of pressure, be able to be rolled over 5 times and be submerged in
water for 30 seconds and not break.Any Ideas what to use?
hmmm.. lots of plastic bags screwed up and tied together in a
brick shape? could work. you might want to use a wire frame to get the
shape right, chicken wire maybe? if you compace the plastic bags enough
then it should withstand the force, and be waterproof
hope that helped =]
Clay was ancient Mesopotamia’s most important raw material.
Most buildings were made out of clay bricks. Even the huge, protective
walls that surrounded the cities were made of clay bricks. Here are simple
directions for experimenting at making a clay brick.
1. Use a shoebox, or a box of similar size, for a mold.
2. Mix different cominations of dirt, sand, clay, grass, weeds, straw, flour, & water. You may not use any cement, plaster, or tile grout. 3. Tightly pack ur mixture into ur mold. 4. Allow ur brick to dry in a warm place for several days. 5. Remove the dried brick from the box. If the brick is still damp, allow to finish drying.
mudbrick is made of mud/clay (not artist is clay, the soil
clay), and mixed with lots of dried long plant reeds/fibers.
Here is another way.follow the step about rocks carefully, or you will see
a dangerous explosion!

Kaolin Clay. If you live anywhere within the New York City
area it is found naturally. Staten Island has huge deposits of it.
