Procedure Police/Reflector: S
Procedure:
1.We took the chicken with the salt and baking soda on the chicken out of the tin foil container and we left the salt and baking soda around the chicken in the tinfoil container.
2.We threw away the salt and baking soda still in the tinfoil container and then we cleaned up the other container that the salt, baking soda, and cinnamon mixture was in with wipes (By this time we saw some of the skin turning red and coming off of the chicken and that means that the chicken was slowly mummifying)
3.Then we put new and fresh salt and baking soda inside the chicken (we used and 2 and a half pounds of salt and baking soda and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon)and put in some cinnamon inside the chicken so the chicken wouldn’t smell so bad. We put this mixture also around the chicken for it to mummify some more.
- We put the chicken by the windowsill(A safe place for it while it’s mummifying)
Group Reflection:
How did your procedure today change from what you had planned?
We used way less salt and baking soda than we needed which was good it’s just that it was a change. We were supposed to use about 3 and a half pounds of salt and baking soda but it turned out we needed less. Also the other thing that changed was that we were going to wait a week until we changed the mixture up but instead we waited about 2 days and the chicken still has the same result as it would have if we did it a week later which is really awesome!
We used the senses of sight, touch and smell, to describe today’s experience.
Sight: The salt and baking soda kind of looks like a clay or glue mixture together.
Touch: The mixture has harden and kind of feels like a donut or a squishy thing or concrete depending on where you are feeling the salt and baking soda mixture on the chicken.
Smell: The chicken smells like cinnamon since we used than in our baking soda and salt mixture to make the chicken not smell so bad. It also on another part of the chicken smells like a dog who hasn’t showered in a long time!
How do you think the chicken will change between now and Monday?
We think it will change because more of the chicken will be red which is good because that means it’s mummifying and also it might smell a little bit in the room that we are mummifying the chickens in because it’s mummifying right now over the weekend but since we put in cinnamon in the baking soda and salt mixture hopefully it won’t smell as bad. The last thing is that I think when we take off the mixture of the salt, baking soda ,and cinnamon the texture of the chicken might change and let’s hope that’s for the better but it might be for the worst.
