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