Our study of Ancient Egypt is proving to be so much fun. The students are getting to explore and apply what they've learned in super-engaging ways.
Here is the winning group in our marshmallow pyramid competition. It is a lot harder than it looks, but they did a great job. In this open-ended project students learned so much more than just how to build a pyramid. They talked about structure, stability, building a strong foundation, and working well as a team. In fact, these boys produced the best pyramid because of how well they worked together.
Groups also competed in a toilet paper mummy competition after we read about the process. This group did the best job of applying the steps they researched. Such great fun.
We will be checking in on our mummified apples soon, so stay tuned for the results.
