Let's Get Cooking - Keeping It Clean

Let's Get Cooking! Making your own meals can be lots of fun. Try Activity #1 Keeping it Clean of the Let's Get Cooking Badge (p. 186 of the Badge Book).

When preparing and eating food, keep your hands squeaky-clean! Want to see what happens if you don't? Look at the picture below of 2 apples slices after one week.

Which apple slice was wiped with clean hands and which with dirty hands? Can you tell the difference? How does this experiment demonstrate the importance of washing your hands?

If you try this Activity at home, to get results like above have your dirty wipe on the apple slice be with extra dirty, greasy hands.
