In our experiment we did not use hand sanitizer. But if you want to try again and do it, feel free and go ahead!!

White Bread Mold Experiment
Teaches the Importance of
Washing Hands
An elementary school teacher used an experiment with white bread to show how important is to wash your hands.
December 18, 2019
Flu season is around the corner and Jaralee Metcalf, a behavioral specialist who works
with autistic students in elementary school wanted to teach the importance
of washing hands to stave off the influenza virus.
The experiment goes viral on social media
Little did he know the science experiment he used to send the message would go viral.
Using an experiment he found on the website of C.S. Mott Children's Hospital, Metcalf took five slices of white bread and placed them in separate sandwich bags. One was placed in the bag untouched, while the second one was touched by children who didn't wash their hands. The third was touched by hands washed with soap and water and the fourth with hand sanitizer. The fifth piece of bread was rubbed over the students' Chrome books. ( computer keyboard)
The bags were labeled and prominently displayed on the wall. The students' job was to track how quickly mold show up on the bread. Metcalf posted his results on Facebook for the world to see.
The mold started forming right away with the Chromebook by far having the most mold.
Results of the mold bread experiment
Chromebook mold results after 3-4 weeks
Dirty hands were only a little better than the Chromebooks
Hand Sanitizer fails to fight mold
Mold is much less when clean hands touch it
"As somebody who is sick and tired of being sick and tired of being sick and tired. Wash your hands!
Remind your kids to wash their hands! And hand sanitizer is not an alternative to washing hands!! At all!."
