Description
Ancient Egyptian religious afterlife beliefs and mythology required the deceased to maintain his or her appearance even in death. Enter the development of the elaborate 70-day Ancient Egypt mummification process.
This resource provides historical background and complete instructions for a 6-week carrot mummification project.
NOTE: Carrots are low smell compared to other possible mummifying foods like meats or apples.
TIP: If you start your mummification process as you start Egypt, your carrot mummies will be ready to go when you're learning about Egyptian religion!
CROSS CURRICULAR: If you're looking to level up your mummification experience, materials are included to weigh mummifying carrots to track and graph osmosis.
What a great way to add variety and hands-on STEAM learning to your curriculum.
