Sphinx
Acrostic Poem:

Sand erosion
Place- protects the pyramids of Giza
Huge- over 240 feet long!~ 66 feet high
Interesting, Iconic Statue
Not Young- 4,500 years old
X-tremely important to the Egyptian Culture

We will be measuring out the body, in our parking lot, to see how huge this statue is! It is as from our portable stairs to the stairs to the art room!

The main section of the body is 171 feet long; the total length including the paws, which stick out in the front, is 242 feet, with it reaching a height of 66 feet at the top of the head.

5 sentences
Sphinx is located below the pyramids at Giza. It is made of limestone. The body and head were cut from a single limestone rock. The paws were added on after. With the head of a human and a lion's body, it has guarded the site of the pyramids.for almost 4,500 years.

Canopic Jars

A student brought a cow liver for us to see and experience.

5 sentences
The Egyptians preparing the body would wash the liver, like the other organs, and prepare it using natron. Natron was a mixture of salt. The liver was placed in a canopic jar with top in the shape of a human head. The human head was to represent Imsety, one of the four sons of Horus. The goddess Isis protected this canopic jar.

The liver performs over 500 different functions! Your liver makes bile which travels from the liver into the small intestine, Your liver cleans your blood and Your liver makes and stores fuel.
