While we can't typically see germs without a microscope, this hands-on activity helps kids visualize germs on their hands and see how they can easily spread from person to person or from a person to an object. This activity also helps kids see the importance of washing hands with soap and water (rather than water alone). #handsonlearning #humanbody #science #STEM #STEAM #kindergarten #giftofcuriosity || Gift of Curiosity
