Preservation

It's approaching...at least entering the periphery of my thoughts... Girl's Explore Archeology Day. For activity planning, I left an apple outside to rot in my backyard over the weekend. I am going to wrap another one in modeling clay next week and see how it fairs in comparison. I wonder if it will stop the apple from oxidizing? I suspect apple mummies could be good smelly fun. Although, this will pale in comparison to making batteries from the lunch items of 5th graders. Stench, unless it is gut-wrenching, is very affective at capturing the interest of younger students.... and myself....
