Classroom Experiment Shows the Importance of Hand-Washing — Just in Time for Flu Season
An educator is imploring students and parents to wash their hands after posting the results of her classroom's stomach-churning experiment.
Jaralee Annice Metcalf shared photos of a science project she and special education teacher Dayna Robertson did with their class, writing alongside a series of photos, "We took fresh bread and touched it. We did one slice untouched. One with unwashed hands. One with hand sanitizer. One with washed hands with warm water and soap. Then, we decided to rub a piece on all our classroom Chromebooks." The result: "So DISGUSTING!!!"
