Germs,germs and more germs

This week we have investigated how to get rid of germs. We put flour and oil on our hands to check to represent the germs and then we washed our hands in three different liquids. The first vinegar (this is what the people in 1665 thought would get rid of the plague), soap and then water and soap together. We discovered that our results would have been better if we used warm water and we then created new investigation questions:

• How do you get rid of germs in your mouth?
• What is in medicine?
• How do we know if we are poorly?
