This term, we have been learning about animals including humans in science.
When looking at hygiene, we first need to explore germs and how they spread. We conducted an experiment to see how far sneezes travel. We used spray bottles to be our pretend sneezes. We then measured how far the sneeze travelled using meter sticks. We tried measuring a sneeze with no protection, a hand over the top and with a tissue. Our results showed that a sneeze is best caught with a tissue.
