The 6th grade Social Studies students have been learning about Ancient Egypt. They've learned about the building of the pyramids and talked about why the Egyptians created mummies. They got to work through some STEM challenges to build the tallest and strongest sugar cube pyramid and mummify an apple using baking soda and salt. It was a fun few days!
