Page 6- It is important for students to know that there are many things they can do to make sure their food is safe to eat. Cleanliness is one of the most important things they can do. Washing their hands with soap and water before eating lunch is a good habit to develop. Have them practice washing their hands for one minute. Pick a song that your students like to sing and have them sing it for one minute so they know how long to wash their hands.

EGG GAMES How much do you know about eggs? Play one of our fun, interactive games below and find out. http:// www. growingyourfuture. com / civi / node / 163 http:// www. growingyourfuture. com / civi / node / 175
Steve Spangler has all kinds of experiments using eggs. Here is one: Separating Egg Whites and Egg Yolks
A simple and quick method to remove the yolk from the white of an egg for your favorite recipes.
When a recipe calls for egg whites, you might want to freak out if you’ re running short on time, you don’ t have the patience and time necessary to separate that pesky yolk from the egg white. Not to worry, because Steve has found a way to pull the yolk right out of the egg white. It’ s quick, easy, and a little fun.
Materials Egg( or two, or three) Empty plastic water bottle Bowls or plates
Experiment
• Crack an egg into a bowl or plate. Be careful not to break the yolk when cracking the egg.
• In your hand, lightly squeeze an empty plastic water bottle. You don’ t want to compress the water bottle all of the way.
• Hold the water bottle in the squeezed position. Don’ t release it.
• Touch the mouth of the water bottle to the egg yolk and slowly release the squeeze on the bottle. The egg yolk is pushed right into the bottle, leaving the egg white!
If you want to use this tool for more than recipes in your home, turn it into a literature connection. Separate the yolk from the egg white and add green food coloring to the egg white. Now you have real green eggs to use while reading Green Eggs and Ham to your students.
How Does It Work? When you squeeze the bottle, you are decreasing the air inside. If you squeeze the bottle while the mouth is facing towards you, you’ ll feel air rush out. Releasing the squeeze on the bottle allows air to rush back into the bottle. If you cover the mouth of the bottle with the egg yolk prior to releasing the squeeze, the available volume inside the bottle is filled by the egg yolk. The egg yolk separates easily from the egg white because of their differing viscosity. While the egg white is runny and slimy, the yolk is more solid, enabling the entire yolk to enter the bottle while the egg white runs off onto the plate or bowl.
