Last week, Mr. Dippel’s Class and Mrs. Montreuil’s class
mummified a chicken. Mrs. Grieco showed both classes a demonstration on the entire
process from embalming to mummifying. The students were able to watch the
process. This entire process will take 70 days and will end with the revealing
of “King Cluck Tut’s” Body and wrapping of the body. Students will be making
amulets to bury with the body as well as building a sarcophagus and pyramid to
lay the body in. This week students are mummifying apples – using different types of
salts (natron) to see which salt preserves the apple the best.
