COVID-19 Science Experiment

 Age Range: 4-11

COVID-19 Science Experiment

On this blog post, we will be doing a COVID-19 Science Experiment which teaches children about germs and why washing you hands is so important, especially during the coronavirus pandemic.

For this experiment, you'll need:

• Black Pepper

The black pepper for this experiment will act as the COVID-19 germs

• Water

Water will act as the surface of your hand

• Soap/Handwash

Soap/Handwash is what you use to wash your hands with 

 

To do this experiment:

Step 1: Sprinkle pepper onto the water

These are the "germs" that are on the surface of our skin

     

Step 2: Dip your finger in the "germs" 

     

  

Look how the germs stick to your hand! Yuck!!

Now, here's what happens when you use soap and wash your hands.

Step 3: Pour soap/handwash on your finger

Step 4: Coat your finger in the soap/handwash

This is you washing your hands 

  

 

Step 5: Stick your soapy finger in the "germs"

 

Watch as you see the "germs" move away when you use soap! This is why washing your hands is so important!
