Investigation into germ transfer in Mrs Callaghan’s Class

15th Nov 2019

We used glitter and Vaseline to show how germs are transferred if hands are not washed properly.

Hugo didn’t wash his hands before touching the hands of his team mates; Max just washed his hands with cold water and Grace washed her hands thoroughly with soap and warm water.

Most glitter was transferred from Hugo’s hand, with a considerable amount being transferred by Max. Little or no glitter was transferred by Grace.

We discovered that you need to wash hands properly with soap and warm water to get rid of germs thoroughly.
