Just before the nursery closed, both morning and afternoon children participated in an experiment to find out what happens to bread when touched by hands.
We had 6 different bags:
1- touched by hands wearing gloves
2- touched by dirty hands
3- touched by hands washed in soap and hot water
4- touched by hands cleaned with hand sanitiser
5- wiped on used iPad
6- touched by hands washed in soap and cold water
The bread was put straight into bags and left for 3 weeks. The results showed that the only one with no mould was the bread handled by hands washed with soap and hot water.
Throughout the experiment, children discussed what they thought might happen.
Did you predict the outcomes correctly? What do the results tell us?
