As it has been so prevalent in the news, we have been talking lots about the spread of germs in class. Today we have been really busy working on our hand washing technique, writing instructions for washing our hands and we also took part in some interesting experiments!
We talked about how easily germs can spread and we demonstrated this using glitter! Some of us glittered our hands and we spread the glitter by shaking hands, and by doing this we were able to visualise the spread! We then tested our hand washing technique by using soap and water to get it all off.
We also started an experiment looking at the impact of germs on bread. We touched slices of bread with washed hands, unwashed hands, the iPad screen, the board pen and other bits and pieces we touch all the time around the class. We will check the decay on the bread next week to see which carried the most germs!
Fantastic work today P1b!
