Project Plus students at Avery
investigated the mysteries of Ancient Egypt. After learning about the
mummification process and the Ancient Egyptian beliefs and attitudes about the
afterlife, 3rd-5th grade students made a
sarcophagus cover. Miss Pey, an Avery Instructional Assistant,
volunteered to be the deceased pharaoh. The students cast her body using
linen plaster strips. 3 hour later, she emerged from the sarcophagus
intact.
