Pharaoh Hot Dog: Hot Dog Mummification
CSEF · 2012 Chemistry Honorable_mention Award
Overview
Objectives/Goals In this project I tried to mummify three hot dogs in baking soda over a period of 20 days. Methods/Materials Three hot dogs were placed in containers of baking soda for three weeks. Every seven days I used a ruler to check the length, a kitchen scale to check the weight, and piece of string and a ruler to check the circumference. I recorded how the hot dogs changed over time. Results All three hot dogs became mummified. The hot dogs got smaller, harder and darker in color. Conclusions/Discussion My conclusion is the hot dogs became mummified in the baking soda because the baking soda removed all the moisture from the hot dogs.
