🦠 Germs🦠

We have explored germs and discovered there are four types such as bacteria, virus, fungi and protozoa.  We know germs are tiny organisms, or living things that can cause disease.  Germs are so small and sneaky that they creep into our bodies without being noticed.  We investigated how germs are spread and how we can prevent this.

We also investigated and observed the growth of germs covering bread. We used three slices of bread.  One was passed around the class and we all touched it. The other was passed around after we washed our hands and the third was not touched by human hands.  We are still monitoring the growth of the germs.

 

We also used water beads to show how germs multiply and cover a large area.

After researching germs and how to protect ourselves we created fun board games using all our knowledge. We are going to visit Primary 1 to share our learning and help teach others to wash their hands properly.
