Image of Mummifying a Fish

Over the past 2 weeks Unit 3 children have been learning about the mummification process. They have done this by mummifying a Fish. Each class has mummified their own Fish and discussed each stage of the process. Despite the horrendous smell, children have really enjoyed discovering all about the process.

 

Can you try and answer the following questions?

 

1. What side of the body was cut to extract the organs?

 

2. What organ was considered to be the most important? Why?

 

3. How was the body dried out?

 

4. In the early days where were the organs stored?

 

 

5. What is the name of your Fish?
