Mummification!

Primary 4b have been replicating the mummification process used by the Ancient Egyptians to preserve the bodies of their kings and queens.

Scooping out the insides


Then carefully recording the weight of their tomatoes before embalming

 Carefully filling  the tomato with a mixture of bicarbonate and salt.

This was to replicate the Natron used by the Egyptions.





Finally wrapping the bandages.We made predictions about what will happen.
We will unwrap them, weigh them and record the changes in one months time.
