18.01.2022 Mummify an Apple! From tasty treats to wrinkly mummies. Bowenfels are learning about Egypt and mummifications. In learning about the mummification process, they mummified apples. The apple was peeled, carved and placed in salt and baking soda for about a week. This combination worked like the natron salts that the mummies were placed in, drawing the fluids out, thus "mummifying" the apple. (The mummies were packed in salt for 70 days, just a bit longer than these apples.) T...hey cant wait to check out the transformation of their apples and share their results with you.
