Sneeze Safe germ experiment

Friday 22 May

Being Sneeze Safe - Tracking a sneeze

Today we participated in a very cool experiment. We were learning about how far a sneeze can travel. Firstly Mr Brock and Mrs Valois used a spray bottle and pretended to sneeze over the classes. Nearly everyone got wet! Then Hope, Kila and Harrison pretended to sneeze into their hands using the spray bottle. They then dipped their hands into green glitter to symbolise germs. They then shook hands with 3 people who then shook hands with 3 others and so on. Eventually all 60 of us ended up having our hands shaken and what do you know, we are all covered in glitter. We were amazed at how far 3 sneezes can travel. This new understanding and knowledge will hopefully help us to keep our germs under control over the winter months. It will also help us to consider how we prepare and handle food for our cultural dinner party.
