The Pre-school children at Oakwood have enjoyed taking part in a germ experiment with white pepper, water and soap. We put water onto a plate and sprinkled in white pepper, when the children put their finger on the plate the pepper stuck just like germs do. Then when they put soap on their finger and on the plate again, the pepper scattered just like germs do when we use soap to wash our hands.
The children all learnt and understood why they need to wash their hands with soap and water to get rid of the germs.
