Activity 1: The importance of washing handsSWBAT explain the importance of washing their hands by observing a potato experiment with a parent.  Materials:              3 potatoes                            Hand soap                            3 plastic bags (large enough to put a potato in it)                             1 sharpie                             Science journal                            Writing instruments (pencils, crayons, markers, etc)                            

1. Germy Potato Experiment: the first potato will be the control.  After you and your child wash your hands and the potato, peel the patio and put it in a plastic zip lock bag without letting it touch anything else.  The idea here is to keep all germs from touching the potato.  Label this bag number one.  The second potato will be the germy potato.  For best results, it is best to handle this potato after you and your child have been playing.  When you come back from playing, wash and peel the second potato and put it in the second zip lock bag.  Label this bag number two.  Next, wash your hands with soap and water for 30 seconds (singing the ABC’s to make sure you wash long enough).  Once you have thoroughly cleaned your hands, wash and peel the third potato and put it in the third zip lock bag.   Label this bag number 3. 

 2.  Now have your child hypothesize:  what will happen to the first potato?  The second potato?  The third potato?  Your child should draw and/or write daily observations about changes in the potatoes over the course of one week.

                            3. Understanding the Potato Experiment: the control potato should look relatively clean and unchanged after one week.  This is because it was not exposed to many germs.  The second potato is the germy potato and should have grown multicolored patches and looks rather gross.  This change is from the germs that you and your child had on your hands when you touched it from playing.  This shows the transfer of germs from one object to another from contact.  The third potato should hopefully look similar to the control potato.  The germs should have been washed off from your hands before you both touched the potato, but since we cannot kill every germ, so there may be some growth on this potato.

 4. If something seems to go wrong with your experiment, allow your child to think through the process and see if they can figure out what happened. For example, if you accidentally dropped the third potato on the floor, allow the experiment to continue without changing anything, in the end, the third potato, supposed to be clean, will actually be more colorful and germy than the second “germy” potato.

Activity 2:

Activity 3: Specifying when we should wash our hands.  SWBAT name three times they should wash their hands by reading Wash Your Hands!, by Tony Ross with a parent.  Materials:              Wash Your Hands!, by Tony Ross

Page 10: stephaniejevans.weebly.comstephaniejevans.weebly.com/.../3/3873649/literacy_unit.docx · Web view1. Germy Potato Experiment: the first potato will be the control. After you and your

                            Hand Washing, Healthy B.A.S.I.C.S. brochure                            Internet access                            Science journal               

1. Read Wash Your Hands!, by Tony Ross with your child.  Have a discussion with your child about when to wash our hands (after using the toilet, before eating or touching good, after playing, after playing with animals, before handling or preparing food, before taking medicine, after blowing or wiping nose, after coughing, after taking out the garbage, before making a snack, after handling money, etc).

 2. Use the Healthy B.A.S.I.C.S. brochure, Hand Washing, as a visual aid.  Highlight reasons to wash hands and important times to wash hands.  Discuss the following questions:  Why do we wash our hands?  When do we need to wash our hands?  How do we wash our hands?  Review steps for correct washing techniques. 3. Integrating with technology: go on www.brainpopjr.com with your child. Click on the health box, scroll down to the bottom of the page where it says “see all health movies” and lick on the “washing hands” and play the movie.  Stop the video at every comprehension question.  Help your child answer the comprehension questions by writing his/her responses in their science journal.  Allow time to explore hand washing games and extended activities provided by the website.

Activity 4: Create a hand washing procedure chart  SWBAT list the appropriate steps for washing their hands by creating a handing washing procedure chart with a parent.  Materials:          Art materials (crayons, makers, construction paper, etc.)

Hand washing song: Tune – “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star"“I can wash my hands you see,Wash them clean as clean can be.Inside, outside, my fingers, tooAround my thumbs and then I'm through,Now rinse away the dirt and stains,Send those germs down the drain!”

 1. Conduct a hand washing demonstration to your child with a return demonstration by your child.

        Wet hands with warm water.        Put soap on hands; create lather (bubbles, soap suds, foam).        Rub hands together while singing hand washing song. Make sure to scrub your fingers, between your fingers, under your fingernails, the top and bottom of your hands (palm) and your wrist.          Rinse off soap in warm water.        Dry hands with towel. If using running water, turn off faucet with towel.

            2. Orally review with your child proper hand washing procedures.3. Help them create a handing washing procedure chart to be posted in areas of where hand washing takes place (bathroom & kitchen).

Activity 5: Fighting transmission of germsSWBAT: SWBAT list 3 ways we can fight transmission of germs by reading Germs Make Me Sick! And explaining to parents what would happen if they didn’t wash their hands.

Materials: Germs make me Sick! By M. BergerCrayons, Markers¼ Cup of oil1/8 teaspoon of cinnamonSqueeze bottleColoring pages

1. Begin by asking them why they think we wash our hands? When do we need to wash our hands? How do we wash our hands? After they have given their thought about these questions read with your child Germs make me Sick! After reading the text go over the questions again to see if they have the same response. Relate how germs cause illness and how we can fight transmission of germs (i.e. cover mouth when coughing; don’t share straws, beverages, eating utensils, toothbrushes; AND good hand washing).

2. Mix the oil and cinnamon in the squeeze bottle. Squirt small amount of mixture on the hands to simulate germs. Compare the difference between unwashed hands, hands washed quickly in water, and hands washed with soap and water for 20 seconds.

3. Students may color the Hand Washing coloring sheets4. Demonstrate to your child how to wash their hands

o Wet hands with warm water.o Put soap on hands; create lather (bubbles, soap suds, foam).o Rub hands together while singing hand washing song. Make sure to

scrub your fingers, between your fingers, under your fingernails, the top and bottom of your hands (palm) and your wrist. 

o Rinse off soap in warm water.o Dry hands with towel. If using running water, turn off faucet with towel.

Differentiation: Based on individual student’s strengths and weaknesses, the included texts

can be switched to those that are more appropriate (either more or less challenging). The list of Additional Resources provides an extensive choice of texts on a variety of levels. Activity pages can also be eliminated or added. The student can be asked to read the songs three times each night until they can read it with accuracy and expression. In addition, an advanced student can be asked to write a more complex journal entry about washing hands techniques and the importance of why we wash hands. Students could create their own hand washing song and teach it to someone else.

The parent and student feedback form also provides the classroom teacher with an opportunity to provide differentiated instruction. Comments and notes the parents offer about difficult activities or concepts will inform the teacher about the student’s need for additional skill instruction in specific areas.

Principles of Engagement:Engagement is developed through opportunities for children to collaborate

with an adult family member; to discuss and explore content topics through real-world experiences; to make choices by selecting texts and forming questions; to build their conceptual knowledge and recognize their own competence for comprehending and learning from texts.

Assessment: Students are accountable for returning the take-home bag on the assigned

day (usually a Friday) with all of the activity sheets and the feedback form completed. Several of the completed activity sheets and/or assignments are added to a class book. Students will need to show proper hand washing techniques to the teacher. Teacher will be looking through the science journal for comprehension.

Teacher resources and extensions for classroom:
