8.  Purpose: for me to determine your science skillz!  But first…who got sick last year? What did you have?  Did you know that hand-washing is the best prevention?

9.  HOW should we wash our hands to prevent illness?  Germ Glow Lotion = pretend bacteria, viruses, dirt, oils  Don’t look at the UV light  Don’t lick your hands  Question: does washing your hands for a longer period of time increase effectiveness?

10.  With your group, on 11x14 paper:  All four names (first and last)  Question: does washing your hands for a longer period of time increase effectiveness?  Hypothesis  Flowchart of procedure (example on board)  Data Table  Conclusion You are not graded on accuracy- this is a pre-test! BTW you can try different methods of hand- washing instead of time…your choice!
