Sarah is a Scientist in Training asking questions we’ve all been curious about. She performs experiments that will make you giggle and want to dash off to your own science laboratory.
Are you ready to experiment with glitter and germs? 🔬✨
This story is recommended for children ages 5+
Glitter Germs: Hand Washing Experiment
The use of plastic based glitter may have a bad effect on the environment. It's advised to find a biodegradable alternative or to use a fine couscous dyed with bright colours. Using wet hands and dirt is an okay alternative but you'll have to sprinkle on the dirt on rather than have them look like they just came out of a swamp.
Objective
Kids learn the importance of washing their hands with a concrete example.
Tools Needed
