Let's wash our hands! With all the recent developments happening lately, we had a little hand washing experiment. I covered the children's hands with oil and "germs" (black sand powder). First we printed our hands on paper to see all the germs present when we don't wash our hands. Next, we washed our hands with just water and printed our hands again. Wouldn't you know it, a lot of the germs still remained! Even after we washed our hands with soap, there were still some germs between our fingers and around our thumbs. It took some of us several tries, but with proper hand washing we got all those germs off, phew! Now all of us are expert hand washers, well done Kindergarten! How The World Works This week we started our new Unit of Inquiry: How The World Works The central idea is 'people use simple machines to make life easier.' As an introduction to the unit, Ms Bustamante wanted to find out what we already knew about simple machines. Some of us were very knowledgable about machines, and she challenged us further by working together to make a machine.
