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. Developed by Ken Koga Moriuchi. Includes materials for 10 student groups and instructions. Grades 3–8.

| Mummies Kit Review |
| Reviewed By: |
Vivian |
| The making mummies kit was a great way to keep the students involved in the process of dehydration, dessication and mummification. The students are really enjoying it. The only complaint I would have is that the teachers manual is quite long and wordy and could be simplified. |
