Bog bodies - preservation in peat

The new ELI today is 'From hard-boiled eggs to bog bodies; an investigation into the effects of tannin and mild acid'.

Exceptional preservation of animals and plants takes place when they have fallen into peat bogs within the last 10,000 years. This activity allows pupils to investigate the effects of tannin and a mild acid in this process.

Other related activities can be found in our Evolution of Life category.
