As part of our topic, we have been learning all about mummification during ancient Egyptian times.  We used a tomato for our ‘body’ and followed most of the steps for mummification.
1. We washed our body
2. Removed the inside of the tomato (the organs)
3. Covered it in natron salt to preserve.

We will observe how our tomatoes change over time and compare them with a tomato that has not been mummified!
