Today we concluded the ongoing mummification experiment. Students cleaned off their apples and weighed them using a triple-beam balance in grams. They compared the weights from today with those they recorded before submerging their apples in the solution they made in class. All groups found that their apples weighed less after siting in the solution for more than eleven days.
Students had to add a conclusion to their 'lab reports' as well as calculate the total percentage of weight change. All in all, the experiment was a success.
Tomorrow we will continue the Egypt unit as we move forward toward ancient Greece!
See you tomorrow!
