Little Man has been interested in ancient Egypt for a while now, and when I stumbled on this science project online, he was all over it. We made gummy Lego figures and mummified them! He guessed that the buried gummies would be smaller and harder than the gummies that were left out to dry.
His hypothesis was wrong, much to everyone's surprise! But I told him that unexpected results are sometimes the most interesting. Clearly there are more factors at play in making a mummy than just salt! But he was fascinated every step of the way ... except when it was time to write down his notes and make his poster board.
"I have to write?" he yelled. "I didn't sign up for writing! This is supposed to be science!"
Of course, he couldn't help hamming it up a little in the video!
