Mrs. Miller's sixth grade class has been learning about Ancient Egypt Civilization.  We learned about pyramids, hieroglyphics, pharaohs,  and the mummification process.  We experimented by “mummifying” apple slices in different solutions to see which one would preserve an apple the best.  We used baking soda, water, vinegar, salt, sugar and no preservative and let them sit in a cupboard for the week.  We found that water and salt preserve the apples best and baking soda preserved them the worst!,
