Welcome Back! Glo-Germ Experiment!


 I am so excited to be back at school! To start off this year I will be traveling to each class and teaching the science lessons in each teacher's own classroom. We'll transform each room into the science lab as I visit. I have a science cart filled with fun items including my projector, laptop, and science experiment supplies! I have some surprises to bring as well!

For our first lesson we will review the rules of the science lab. After our review we will discuss the steps and recommendations of hand-washing during the pandemic. The CDC recommends we wash hands for at least 20 seconds. 

After practicing our hand washing, I will have some students test out their knowledge by applying Glo-Germ to their hands. Glo-Germ is a lotion, and when applied, appears clear until an ultraviolet light makes the lotion glow. The lotion represents germs. As the students wash their hands and wash off all the Glo-Germ, we'll shine the light again and see how they did. Hopefully they washed all the 'germs' away! 

After visiting the classes, we concluded that germs like to hide under our fingernails and around our wrists. Those were the spots that many students continued to have the Glo-Germ glow after they washed their hands. The students loved the Mark Rober video! Click on the image above to watch it.
