Mummy Science: From Mummies to Mason Jars
Digital Homeschool Curriculum | Ages 3-6
What could an ancient Egyptian mummy possibly have in common with a Mason jar?
More than you might think!
Travel back over 3,000 years to ancient Egypt, where history, science, and everyday life come together in this hands-on Rooted Discovery adventure.
Meet Kemi, a young boy living along the Nile River, and discover what daily life was like in ancient Egypt. Explore ancient medicine, uncover the fascinating process of mummification, and follow the clues archaeologists used to discover King Tut's tomb.
But the learning doesn't stop in ancient Egypt! Discover how the same principles used to preserve mummies connect to food preservation on modern farms and in our own kitchens.
WHAT WILL YOUR CHILD EXPLORE?
Ancient Egyptian Life: Follow Kemi through a day of food, chores, family, and traditions along the Nile.
Ancient Medicine: Discover the Ebers Papyrus and how Egyptian healers used plants, minerals, and spiritual practices.
Mummification Science: Learn how natron, moisture removal, and preservation helped protect bodies from decay.
Apple Mummy Experiment: Become a scientist! Test salt and baking soda on apple slices, make predictions, observe changes, and compare results.
Preservation Then & Now: Connect ancient Egyptian techniques to drying, salting, and preserving food today.
King Tut & Archaeology: Follow the clues behind one of history's most famous tomb discoveries.
Egyptian Art & Symbolism: Explore the colors and symbols of burial masks before creating your own papier-mâché mask inspired by ancient Egypt.
MORE THAN A HISTORY LESSON
This project brings together history, science, art, observation, critical thinking, and practical life skills. Children won't just read about ancient Egypt. They'll experiment, investigate, create, and discover connections to the world around them.
WHAT'S INCLUDED?
A downloadable, printable curriculum featuring engaging lessons, illustrated activities, step-by-step project instructions, an apple preservation experiment, a burial mask project, and additional ideas to keep exploring.
