Handwashing
Wash the Germs Away! was created and designed to teach children the following:
- The characteristics of germs, the relationship between germs and sickness, and the ways in which germs can spread.
- Proper handwashing technique and when it is important to wash hands.
- The difference between antibiotics and over the counter medication, the right way to take antibiotics, and the concept of antibiotic resistance.
The lesson is written at 3rd grade level and can be modified for other grades to meet the background knowledge of each classroom.
