Parents and teachers often remind children to “wash your hands.” It is not a stretch to imagine the child who wonders “Why do I wash my hands? They look the same before and after!” Last month, one child’s parent, a high school Biology teacher, offered to help our classroom do an experiment that would show the children the before and after.
On that second day, everyone got a chance to look at how much their germs grew. The results were truly disgusting, and a great reminder of why we wash our hands well and often!
