Pupils have been learning about bacteria and germs and participated in an experiment to assess the effects of a variety of conditions on bacteria growth. Underpinning this experiment was the importance of washing your hands. They used bread as a visual stimulus for this experiment.
Children will monitor and record the difference in bacteria growth over the next two weeks.
