  3. Floating garden Aztec engineers created “floating” gardens.  First, they built a series of rafts and anchored each to the lakebed. Vegetation and reeds were piled on top of a raft.  Then, they piled on enough dirt to be able to grow crops. The Aztecs used the gardens to grow chili peppers, squash, corn, tomatoes, and beans.

  4. Ball games • One of the most highly respected professions in the Aztec world was that of ballplayer. The best players were treated like super stars, similar to the way we treat our best athletes today.  • The Aztecs had huge ball courts. The goal of the game was to get a hard rubber ball over the middle line into your opponent’s court. You got points for that. But the real goal was to get your ball through one of the two hoops that hung down over the centre of the court.
