Germ Experiment!

First we cleaned (wiped) our hands.

Do you think our hands are really clean?

Then, we passed around a piece of wheat bread.

After everyone touched it, we sealed it in a ziploc bag.

Next, we took a second piece of wheat bread

and used only tongs to touch it and put it in a ziploc bag.

We labeled the bags "Touched" and "Not Touched"
Eww! Gross!
Look at the touched bread!
Why do you think it is covered in mold?

We also learned a song to help us take our time washing our hands.

"Over under, over under
Scrub between, scrub between
Rinse the tops and bottoms
Rinse the tops and bottoms
Now my hands are clean!
Now my hands are clean!"
