This activity has great ideas to lead discussion. This lesson helps the teacher guide students to discuss how germs are spread and how we can prevent them from spreading. 2012-01-24 16:32:12
Good ideas I think another idea would be to remind students to sneeze in their elbow rather then their hand 2012-01-24 17:26:53
Well-organized, easy to follow idea Chlorox is to be commended for helping educators by providing what appears to be a high quaility lesson. Since I teach high school, I can't be certain that the activities are appropriate for K-2, but they seem to be very engaging. I would be willing to try them in my classroom if I taught primary grade students. 2012-01-24 18:20:01
