Mummy Experiment Part 2


Well the wait is finally over now for the results. Starting weight is written in red ending weight is written in green. It was amazing to see how each reacted to the mixtures. Most changed was the 50/50 mixture of table salt and baking soda. Starting weight was 40g ending weight 15g. Least changed was the baking soda slice. Starting weight 40g ending weight 30g. Overall most changed to a certain degree.


Papyrus Paper and Hieroglyphic


Yesterday we made our own version of papyrus paper using wrapping paper. We let them dry overnight and trimmed the jagged edges off. Today the boys practiced writing their names in Hieroglyphic. We really liked the end results.

Making Papyrus Paper


Continuing our studies in Ancient Civilization we learned about Papyrus. We watched some YouTube videos on the topic which we found to be very interesting. After gaining much knowledge we decided to make our own papyrus paper by using wrapping paper. It was a messy job but the boys enjoyed the process.
