After learning about the Ancient Egyptian tradition of preserving Pharaohs for the afterlife through mummification, Camden Middle School teachers Leah Richards and Talie Sullivan took their students’ understanding of the concept to the next level through an experiential learning project!

Students replicated the mummification process by using chickens to demonstrate. The classes preserved the chickens by placing them in bags and surrounding them with salt and baking soda to curb bacterial growth and spoilage. Each week, students made observations on the chicken’s condition and characteristics as the process took hold. For example, the chicken lost approximately a half pound of weight from February 13th to March 9th.

The process continued for several weeks until Monday, March 16th, when the dried-out chickens were removed from the bag and wrapped in gauze to demonstrate how mummies were prepared traditionally.
