John Early brings museum theme to life by mummifying chickens posted by: Mashburn, Noelle B - MNPS at Nov 20, 2012 11:29:00 AM Two days before the Thanksgiving holiday, it’s a pretty fair assumption that turkeys are on the minds of many. But at John Early Museum Magnet Middle School, a different type of fowl has students preoccupied. As part of a unit on Egyptian culture, the students are studying mummies. Nothing really new there, but what IS new is that students are actually mummifying chickens. Check out the photos below of the project-based lesson in action! John Early Museum Magnet Middle School gives students a chance to learn rigorous academics in the setting of a museum. The school teaches and implements museum methods including inquiry, critical thinking, projects, interpretation and hands-on analysis of objects. It relies on the integration of the arts across the curriculum to further engage students, and it enlists the help of curators and educators from more than 30 museums, historic sites and organizations in the midstate.
