A fantastic two lesson sequence about the Afterlife and Mummification. The first Smart Notebook gives the opportunity to either present a wealth of fascinating information on what the Ancient Egyptians believed about the afterlife or else print it for the students to highlight and make notes. The lesson concludes with the pupils comparing and identifying what the Ancient Egyptians would have taken into the afterlife and what they themselves would take with them. The second lesson involves the students mummifying a doll such as a Barbie. Pictures and a script is included for the teacher to read which instructs the children on how to embalm the body (with herbs), preserve it with natron (salt) etc. An incredibly memorable learning experience which could be followed up with an Instructional writing task.

It can also be applied to other areas of the curriculum, especially when looking for more thoughtful and extend answers when you ask a question. This display provides great imagery to a concept that can be quite abstract in younger children.
