We looked at germs in our first week. It is so important to know why we cannot put our fingers or items in our mouths and why we have to sneeze into our arms.<\/p>\n

We looked at dirt on hands under the digital microscope. ( Mrs Arbuckle\u2019s nails were disgusting even though she had washed her hands!)<\/p>\n

Next we used body glitter to pretend that we sneezed on our hands. When we touched things, we could see the \u201cgerms\u201d sparkle.<\/p>\n

Then we used the \u201c snot \u201c bottle. \u00a0We pretended to sneeze and see how far a sneeze travelled. We even \u201csneezed\u201d three times in one spot and made a \u201c booger puddle\u201d. \u00a0 It was disgusting!<\/p>\n

Finally, we used the airzooka, to see how far a cough would travel. \u00a0It really made the paper move. \u00a0We tried it on our hair too. It flew right up!<\/p>\n

We now know why it is important to wash our hands and stay safe.<\/p>\n
