What’s the Problem?
We sent out a survey to random classes in our school to find out if students are washing their hands and if they are doing it correctly.
The survey was a random sampling of 45 first, second, and fourth grade students.

All About Germs• There are four types of germs:– Protozoa– Fungi– Bacteria– Virus
• These can make us very sick.• Germs are spread through saliva, coughing
and sneezing, and can get into our bodies through our mouth, nose, ears, and open cuts.

How can we stop them?
• Wash your hands after using the bathroom and before you eat lunch
• If you have an open cut, cover it with a tissue to stop the bleeding and then keep it covered with a Band-Aid!
• Keep your hands out of your mouth!• Cover your nose when you sneeze and your
mouth when you cough
