Ewww! Moldy Bread and Dirty Hands – What We Learned
In our science unit “Our choices influence our health and well-being”, PYP 2 did a yucky (but awesome!) bread experiment.
We took three slices of bread:
1. Touched one with super clean hands (washed with soap for 20 seconds),
2. Touched one with dirty hands (ew!),
3. And rubbed one on a computer keyboard (double ew!).
After a few days... MOLD ATTACK!
The clean-hands bread looked okay.
The dirty-hands bread grew mold.
The keyboard bread? A total mold monster!
This simple experiment helped us understand that our choices, like washing hands, can protect our health.
We all agreed: from now on, we’ll take more time to wash our hands properly, especially before eating!
