Sixth graders studied Egyptian art and learned that the scarab beetle was believed to have special powers to protect or bring good fortune. Therefore, the Egyptians made amulets - good luck charms - that looked like beetles. These amulets were often placed upon the breasts of mummies in the position of the heart as a symbol of new life.
Students made their own scarab beetles out of clay.
