We now know how important it is to wash our hands. We read the story Germs make me sick and decided to use an apple to show the importance of handwashing.
We cut the apple in two slices. One slice went right into the jar untouched. The other apple slice went around the circle with each child touching the apple slice.
After a week, this is what the slices looked like. Even though both apple slices turned brown, we noticed that the touched apple slice was browner and had mold growing on it. YUCK!
