Challenge question Day 4:

Page 2 of 2

Mummifying a tomato.

Year 3 become Ancient Egyptian embalmers… Yuck!

Equipment.

1. Tomatoes

2. Antibacterial hand wash (containing alcohol)

3. Natron (Table salt and bicarbonate of soda)

4. Kitchen towel

5. Containers

6. Knives

7. Spoons

Method.

1. Look at your dead body (tomato). What does it look like? What does it smell like? How does it feel? Make notes in your topic book.

2. Make a small incision in the body (tomato) using a knife and scoop out the seeds inside using a spoon.

3. You can throw these bits away (but the ancient Egyptians would store the lungs, liver, stomach and guts in canopic jars.)

4. Rub your body (tomato) inside and out with the alcohol (antibacterial wash) using kitchen towel. This will kill any nasty germs that may be lurking inside the body.

5. Next, pack the body (tomato) with a special salt called Natron. (an equal mix of table salt and bicarbonate of soda)’

6. Place your stuffed body inside a container also filled with Natron.

7. Ancient Egyptians would have to wait 70 days to be able to complete their mummification process, but we are going to wait until about three weeks.
