Building a Sarcophagus and Mummy in Grade 5!!

Here are a few pictures of the students working on their sarcophagus. We built the boxes first, spray painted them gold. They then designed their Pharaoh and painted it on to the lid.

The next step was to make the mummy. Students took tinfoil and formed the body.
The next step was to wet strips of paper towel and wrap it around the mummy. After it was dry students painted it with white glue to hold the paper towel in place.
