Materials Needed:
-          2 bowls
-          Water
-          Pepper
-          Soap
Steps:
  1. First, take one of the bowls and fill  with water, enough to dip a finger in and in the other bowl fill it with any liquid soap found in the house, again with an amount enough to dip a finger in.
  2. Second, with  the bowl filled with water, shake a generous amount of pepper into the water as this represents germs.
  3. Third, dip a finger into the pepper-filled water and observe how the “germs” stick to the fingers.
  4. Fourth, taking the opposite hand, dip a finger into the soap and proceed to dip the finger in pepper water. Observe how the “germs” repelled away from the finger with soap. A “safe zone” is created around the finger due to surface tension created in the water.
The message of this activity is to show how important basic hygiene is in washing your hands. By having this visual experiment take place shows how humans can help prevent the spread of any diseases, specifically coronavirus in today’s time.
