The Toothpaste Experiment

Our first science experiment emphasized teamwork. We were given a new tube of toothpaste and one direction: squeeze out ALL the toothpaste.
 

Make sure you get it all out!
 
For the second part of the experiment: using only ONE toothpick per team, you must now get ALL of the toothpaste back IN!

 
It was nearly impossible! We got so sticky!
 
The point of our experiment was to realize that once you say something bad to someone you can never really take it back. You might apologize but the person can never unhear what you said.

 
So...think before you speak!
