In Primary 3 we were very lucky to have a STEM leader do some activities with us.

We were learning about symptoms of common diseases, and how disease can spread.

Here we used a UV cream as ‘germs’ which was invisible to our eyes. When we didn’t wash our hands you could see it under the light.  After we washed our hands nothing was there! This taught us how easily bacteria can spread if we don’t wash our hands.

 

 

We used a spray bottle with coloured water to replicate how far a sneeze can travel.

 

 

We had to match the disease to the symptoms, then played doctors where somebody was the patient and had to tell us the symptoms, after that we guessed the disease they had.

Here is another activity to show how soap and water can repel ‘germs’!
