Hello, and today we did an experiment about sneezing and germs. We put water and food colouring into spray bottles and we went outside. We put down paper and meter sticks on the slabs outside and then got to work. We sprayed the food colouring and then measured how far it went. (the food colouring represents the germs when we sneeze). Then we sprayed it again but this time someone put their hand in front of the bottle like what you would do if you were blocking a sneeze with your hand. Then the last experiment was to put a tissue in front of the bottle like when you sneeze into a tissue.
What we found out from our experiment was that it is always better to use a tissue because then you’re not spreading your germs everywhere and getting people ill. And if you don’t have a tissue sneeze into your arm or your hand but wash your hands after!!

Good explanation of the experiment and what you observed Kaitlyn.
Good explanation AND good advice, Kaitlyn!
