Have two pieces of loaf bread in the science center. When the children come in from outside, have them all put their hand on one piece of bread. Then, they should wash and put their clean hand on the second piece


of bread. Put each piece of bread in a separate plastic bag. Label the bags with “Clean Hand” and “Dirty Hand.” Place bags in the science area and have the children observe/discuss the changes to the bread over the course of a week.
