Egypt Project

In this project we started with learning a little about Egypt in the beginning and after we gave a group of first graders a survey that asked them what they would want in a museum exibit.  The questions that we asked them about were about Religion and Technology because those were our two themes that we had chosen the people that were in my group were Lauren, Georgia, and Sydney but Sydney was in Kenya for a little over half of it and missed presenting our exibit. We worked well and were able to do it with only three people.

I learned a lot about Religion and about how and why they mummiafied people its very interesting I also found some stuff that deals with justice and injustice. I also learned a lot about Technology and how they created so many things that we still use today like breath mints, eye makeup, and toothpaste. The people of Egypt had lots of good ideas. How they made people into mummies is so cool and a little bit gross. Like how they stuck a hook up the dead persons nose and squished the brain into pieces and then poured it out the nose.

I love to work in groups if the groups work well together and are able to help each other and make things happen. Preparing was a little hard but we made it happen the reason that it was hard is because there were only three of us and there was only a small space to put all of our things on and we only had three people to build and create things we had to change plans in the middle of things sometimes to make things work but it made our exibit even better. We made a lot of stuff like a coffin, door lock and jars. We also had some posters with information to look at so we didn’t have to explain all so it worked great
