Mummification

Lesson: History

Class: Mrs Metcalfe's class Year: 2025 - 2026

Since we are learning about the Ancient Egyptians, we used similar mummification techniques to mummify a tomato to see if it really works. We used salt and bicarbonate of soda to create a modern day version of natron, which was used by the egyptians. We left our tomatoes for 4 weeks and were very surprised with what we saw.
