Mummies in the Classroom

MS teachers use science and history to learn about the mummies of Ancient Egypt. History teacher Adric Alvaro assigned students to acolyte groups to follow and learn about specific Pharaohs while imagining what it would be like to have been a real acolyte of the time to learn about history. At the same time, students are putting their science hats on with science teacher Elyse Debuysser to experiment with the process of mummification. Students are using real mummification techniques to test what happens to an apple as it decomposes.
