Bread Experiment

After about a month we can see the results of our bread experiment.  We tested to see if more mold would grow on bread handled with dirty hands or clean hands.  Each child touched the dirty hands pieces with both hands right after our recess time.  We then went and washed our hands with soap and water.  Each child then touched the clean hands pieces.  We placed pieces of bread that were not touched at all in a control group.  The dirty hands bread has grown a substantial amount of mold.  We learned that it is important to wash our hands!
