Summer Science
Grow mold! Rub a slice of white bread on your kitchen table to collect all the germs we don’t usually see. Moisten the bread a little bit and put it in an glass jar with the lid shut tight. In a couple days, different fungus and molds will start to grow. When you are done watching – simply toss the experiment out!
