The Plaque Attack!

We ended our dental health unit with a very visual experiment. We actually grew our own plaque... yes, it was really gross.
First, we took a packet of yeast and added a little bit into two different cups of warm water. 

One cup we left alone and added a little bit of sugar into the other.

It looked kind of yucky. One was a bit more cloudy than the other. We waited and watched and slowly, but surely, the plaque began to grow in the cup with the sugar. It almost grew to the top. 

Ewwww... so gross!!

We filled out a recording sheet with our observations just like a real scientist. We are getting to be keen observers.

Don't forget to brush your teeth so you don't get a 

PLAQUE ATTACK!
