Mummification

We started a new science curriculum this year about human anatomy. Part of one lessons was about how the Egyptians mummified bodies. We did a little experiment with apples. We pealed 2 apples....
...then we covered one with a mixture of baking soda and salt and did nothing with the other...




...then we let them sit for a week. The results:

The kids were pretty surprised to see what happened to the "mummified apple".
