​Week 1 - DO the Experiment & Produce the 30-second FLIPGRID.
Link to FlIPGRID: flipgrid.com/93449407
Your FLIPGRID for week 1 is up to 30 seconds long.

Repel  means push away. The soap repelled the pepper-germs, so the pepper-germs did not stick on our fingers.

​

SAFETY NOTE: DO NOT DRINK or EAT out of these glasses or bowls until they are washed. After you are done with the experiment, please put the dirty cups or bowls in your home's dirty dishes. Drinking the soap-water will make you sick with an upset tummy. The pepper-water will just make you gag. YUCK!!

Week 2
&
Week 3

​Week 2 & Week 3 - You might have done the experiment in Week 1. You might not have. It is OK, either way.
Watch the video below and then create a project - anything titled "Promoting Hand Washing."  Whatever you make, make sure it promotes hand washing. Include the science, the why, the how, or a 20-second song, or an image.  You can make a video if you want. WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE it needs to promote hand washing. 
Know your audience - your thing will look different if it is meant for your baby brother versus your adult aunt versus your classmates.
