Product Information

This kit combines chemistry, mathematics, history and culture while reinforcing students measurement, graphing and scientific inquiry skills.
Students begin by taking a "baby" carrot which they measure, weigh and observe. After recording their data they build aluminum lined sarcophagus and "bury" their mummies in a mxiture of baking soda and salt that is similar to what the Eqyptians used to remove moisture from bodies.
After a week students remove the now "mummified" carrots, wrap them in gauze and coat them with resin. Kit contains enough materials for 30 students to each make one mummy and enough non-consumables for 10 stations. Students can form groups of 2 or 3 and share these items. Developed by Ken Koga Moriuchi.
