Egyptian factors information auction

I used this with my year 9's studying Medicine Through Time. Its an auction to get them to think through the factors that affected Egyptian medicine using an auction style approach. Each pupil had to barter for the information they needed about the factors. They could do this from each other or myself. There are coins to print but pirate gold works better!
