I started creating my own DIY Montessori materials back when my kids were preschoolers. I created printable and SVG (Cricut/Silhouette compatible) files to create my own high quality, but cheaper materials. We started homeschooling during COVID, and I have been building printables, unit studies and other Montessori inspired curriculum ever since! I use/have used every single one of my products in my homeschool, or teaching classes in our local homeschooling community.

This download is a five part science experiment designed to show students what happens to historical documents before they are discovered by archeologists. The experiments assume students have some knowledge of the history of writing in Sumer and Ancient Egypt. Before conducting experiments they will need to have a piece of clay and a piece of papyrus they are willing to destroy! Each experiment simulates challenges the clay and papyrus go through as they travel down through the millennia to present day discovery. PLEASE NOTE: Experiment 4 uses an oven and bakes the materials. This may need to be adapted for a classroom setting.
