Our Potato-Germ Experiment

We are learning a lot about germs.  Some are good but many are bad.  We know that germs live everywhere. 1,000 germs can live on the tip of a pencil! ICK!  We are doing an experiment to see if washing our hands gets rid of germs.  We will post our results at the Open House on February 13.  Here are some photos of our experiment.

You can't see germs without a microscope.  But we used our imaginations and built some germ sculptures.  We named them and wrote about them.  We are very creative.

Take a look.

We know the RIGHT way to wash our hands and stay healthy.  We wrote our own skits about staying GERM FREE.  We filmed them.  You can see us perform at the open house.  I will try to upload the skits to the website for those who can't make the Open House.

 

            What did one germ say to the other germ?

EKES is having a Wellness Open House.  Please come Wednesday evening, February 18th and enjoy all the activities.  We have been studying GERMS in first grade.  Come see our 'potato - germ' experiment and learn about hand washing.  We filmed skits to show what we learned about staying GERM FREE.
