After spending some time at the playground, soccer field, or in the backyard, it can be easy to see the dirt on our hands.
What you can’t see are the invisible-to-your-eye germs that get on your hands throughout the day.
Have a go at this experiment to see the effect those germs have.
Three slices of bread
Three resealable bags
Label each of the three bags:
Control
Dirty
Clean
Place one slice of bread in the 'control' bag without touching it. You can use clean tongs, or turn the resealable bag inside out and use it like a glove to get the slice inside. Seal the bag.
Remove a second slice of bread and touch the bread with your unwashed hands. Place the bread in the bag and seal it.
Wash your hands with soap and water.
Take a third slice of bread and touch the bread with your freshly-washed hands. Place the bread in the bag and seal it.
Take all three sealed bags and put them in a cool, dry place.
Look at the bread daily and write down your observations, but do not take the bread out of the bags. In a few days, mould should start to appear. What slice of bread gets mouldy first? Which grows the most mould? Which grows the least? If mould starts to appear, take a ruler and measure it and record your observations. You can even draw a picture of the bread each day, or keep a photo diary by taking pictures of the bread each day to watch the changes over time.
