Germs in PK4
In PK4, our young scientists recently conducted an engaging experiment to learn about germs and the importance of washing hands. Using glitter to represent germs, the students observed how easily these "germs" could spread from one person to another with just a touch. By shaking hands, touching objects and moving around the classroom, they quickly saw how glitter (like germs) could travel everywhere! Afterward, they washed their hands and saw how thorough handwashing removed the glitter, reinforcing the lesson about keeping hands clean to prevent the spread of germs. The experiment was a fun and hands-on way to help students understand personal hygiene and health!
