Today in Science we learnt about germs and what happens when we sneeze. First we watched a video about sneezing. We watched a man sneezing and lots of germs came out of his mouth. We thought it was disgusting!
We decided to do an experiment to see what happens with germs when you sneeze. We practised ‘sneezing’ with a spray bottle to watch the germs spread and see how far they could go. We used paper to see who could do the biggest sneeze. Huey, Ruby, Brooke Be and Melissa did the biggest sneezes by pressing hard and all the way down on the sprayer.
This lesson we have learnt:
• There are good germs and bad germs in your body.
• Germs are spread quickly because they keep doubling.
• Germs can stay alive on surfaces for hours so you must always wash your hands.
• You should always cover your mouth when you sneeze or, even better, use a tissue and throw it away.
• You should always wash your hands after you sneeze.
• You shouldn’t touch someone who is sick as you will share and spread their germs.
• If you have a big cut and you don’t cover it up the germs can get into your body through the cut.
