A new science resource kit title “Mighty Microbes” is being launched this week.
“The kit is timely because it teaches children about viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and algae,” says House of Science NZ CEO Chris Duggan.
“It covers the importance of beneficial microbes and how to protect ourselves from the harmful ones.”
The student activities include a sneezing simulation to show how far aerosols spread, a handwashing activity using ‘glitterbugs’ that glow in UV light, blowing up balloons with fermenting yeast and making yoghurt to mention a few.
