Last week was Science Week in our class. Tallaght Library usually offer for classes to visit them and take part in Science activities. This year, because of COVID, that wasn't an option. Instead, they put together packs to send out to teachers, and videos explaining the different experiments we could try.
The theme of the pack we got was 'Mysterious Microbes' - very apt as we were learning all about how easily viruses and bacteria can spread, how they multiply, and what we can do to try to protect ourselves.

We got a UV light, and used glow in the dark products to represent germs. In the above experiment, we mixed glow in the dark powder with moisturiser and rubbed it into our hands.
Later, we washed our hands as well as we could, and checked whether we had gotten rid of all the 'germs'/ glow powder.
We also checked whether we had contaminated some of our belongings with the 'germs'. This was really effective.
