To show how easily germs can be passed on from one person to another, one class member put green paint on his hands, to represent germs, and shook hands or high-fived other class members. We noticed that everyone ended up having green paint on their hands. This meant we all had germs on our hands! We did the experiment again and some people were given damp wipes to wipe away the green paint. This was to show the effect washing our hands can have on transferring germs.

We watched a short film about the importance of hand washing in different situations. The film told us that even though our hands look clean, we still can have tiny germs lurking there. Argh!

We made a poster to show when we should wash our hands and how washing hands can help stop the spread of disease and viruses.
