Apple mummy experiment

Follow the scienctific method while discovering a key component of the mummification process. Create your very own canopic jars to hold your "mummy" apple pieces for this hands-on experiment.

Learn how to make a mummy out of a dehydrated apple. Making apple mummies is a great STEM activity for your social studies units about Ancient Egypt.

Recreate the mummification process & make an apple mummy using apples, salt, baking soda. Enrichment activity for Ancient Egypt social studies units.

Learn about mummification by making apple mummies with Ancient Egypt science experiment and explore Magic Tree House Mummies in the Morning!

This week we narrowed our focus a little bit and used the book Mummies & Pyramids by Mary Pope Osborne along with our studies. The highlight of the

I found this cool mummifying an apple experiment at Newton’s Apple to go along with our spring break Egyptian mummy and pyramid project. Materials 2 fresh apples large box of table salt large…

Oooh, Egyptian Mummies, who could resist? As part of my Expedition Earth Egypt activities my kids couldn’t wait to mummify an apple this week! They’ve been talking about it for awhile now, kind of like the Brazilian Rainforest Diorama. The ancient Egyptian mummification process is quite lengthy. It typically lasts…

Last Monday we started an experiment to determine what mixtures of baking soda (natron), iodized salt and Epsom salt would best mummify a slice of apple. We had the following combinations and apple slice weights (weighed with a control-weighted object): Control (plain apple): 8 oz. 1/2 c. baking soda: 8 oz. 1/2 c. iodized salt: 8 oz. 1/2 c. Epsom salt: 8 oz. 50:50 baking soda and iodized salt: 8 oz. 50:50 iodized salt and Epsom salt: 9 oz. 50:50 baking soda and Epsom salt: 9 oz. Equal…

If you kids or students love great stories and icky science experiments, then this is the project for them! Read "Monsters and Mold" from the Zoey and Sassafras series and then create your own experiment to see if you can prevent an apple slice from rotting. Science so gross it is cool!
