P.4E’s Mummification Experiment

We have been waiting patiently this week to discover the results of our apple mummification experiment.

We sliced an apple into 4 equal pieces and covered one in vinegar, one in Bicarbonate of Soda and one in salt, we also left one slice with nothing on it. Then we discussed which substance would best mummify the apple. There were lots of great ideas and reasons.

Here are our results…

Here are some pictures of us working on our report and examining the apple slices.

We now think we would be able to mummify an ancient Egyptian!!
