In KS1, we looked at the importance of our hygiene.
We discussed how to look after our bodies and the importance of washing our hands.
We did an experiment to observe the importance of washing our hands. First we cut up an apple and placed the pieces into 4 clear test tubes. Labelled untouched, quick wash (touched), Dirty hands (touched) and Clean hands (controlled wash).
We will observe the apples over time to see what happens!
Our second experiment was to see how well we was our hands. We all had germs (Glitter bug) put on our hands and rubbed in. We then went to wash our hands and then we placed our hands under the UV light to see how clean our hands were and if there were still germs on them.
