Egyptian Science

Room 7 has been investigating the science of Ancient Egypt. The Egyptians were very clever at preserving dead bodies, and used a mixture of salts called 'Natron' to help preserve the body for the afterlife. This whole precess we call 'mummification'

We are running an experiment using Epsom Salt, Table salt and Baking soda to see if we can mummify an apple.



The process we went through can be found on the Year 3-4 Wiki 'Mummified apples" page.
