Penicillin

This week, one of our vocabulary words is penicillin. Now, I taught the students that penicillin is an antibiotic derived from molds. Job done, right? Well, what kind of a teacher would I be if I didn't take my lesson to a whole new...applicable level? Behold, I show you what happens when you leave a fresh loaf of bread in the cupboard too long:


Now, I don't know if this is the exact types of mold that penicillin is made from; nonetheless, it's still pretty cool...and gross at the same time. To my defense, this bread is actually only two weeks old. I guess this is a great example of what happens to bread if it is not injected with a ton of preservatives and unnatural elements.

Enjoy!
