Germs!

Nurse Jenna taught our second grade class a lesson on germs. Students shared what they knew about germs by passing a tennis ball to each other. What the students didn't know was that the tennis ball was covered in "germs". After passing the tennis ball around students looked at their hands under a black light. Many students were shocked to see that the germs were not only on their hands, but on the face, shirt, pants, and hair! Some students were asked to wash their hands with soap and water, with just water, and sanitizer. After washing their hands, the students looked at their hands under the black light again. Students that washed their hands with soap and water got rid of many of their germs. While soap and sanitizer hardly got rid of any germs at all. Thanks for the great lesson on germs, Nurse Jenna!
