How does one mummify apples? The 6th graders found out this week as they studied Ancient Egypt in social studies. By using the scientific method, 6th graders researched about the mummifying process, gathered materials and formed a hypothesis. Math was integrated when we used only a 1/4 measuring cup to measure out different quantities of supplies and converting the new weights of the apples to a percentage as they dried out . The last step will be for students to write about what they learned from this experiment.
