Studying Germs Mini Unit

March 17, 2020 by Side By Side Learning

Germs are a big deal right now! The majority of the world is isolated in their own homes, for good reason. Germs can be good for your body but they can also be negative. Instead of focusing on the scary things that are going on in the world right now, lets focus on what we can control. That is, how we deal with our germs.

Studying Germs Together: Family Style Mini Unit

In this post you will find our favorite Usborne’s book regarding germs and other resources to help you create a mini unit to teach your kids about the importance of germs.

Usborne Books about Germs

What are Germs? – Usborne’s Very First Question & Answer

  • Live Video Reading of What Are Germs

Activities to Teach About Germs

Germ Mini Book

Germ Blow Painting Art

Coloring Pages

Germ Busting Playdough

Bubble Bath – if your feeling really excited throw in some foam ABC’s, little Pom Poms as Germs, or let the kids clean the germs off their toys

YouTube Video Clips

These clips were selected to teach a variety of age groups. It is your job to decide which videos are appropriate for your child’s level of understanding, sensitivities and interests.

Why we should wash our hands

Wash Your Hands Clean Song – The Kiboomers

The Journey of a Germ – Sid the Science Kid

What is Corona Virus – Dr. Binocs

How Germs Spread – Explaining the Science for Kids

What Happens if There is a Pandemic – ASAP Science

How Pandemics Spread – Ted Ed

Science Experiments That Teach About Germs

I love having the option to do experiments or simply watch them in action. The first two experiments would be quick to put together with minimal supplies needed. One has a fast reaction and one takes time. I say do them both, but the choice is up to you or maybe you want to get your little Scientists to make the decision.

The Power of Soap with Pepper

Moldy Bread Experiment – This experiment would be extra easy to lean into the scientific ways of learning. Make a hypothesis, and have your kids record their observations on a piece of paper

Hand Sanitizer vs Washing Your Hands with Soap

Please share our Mini Unit with your friends and family and stay tuned for tomorrow’s lesson.

This week we've been learning about different ways This week we've been learning about different ways of lighting throughout history, the science behind light and how electricity works. But guys, I completely forgot about reflection. 

Don't worry this kid knows about it and carried us through a brief lesson. When I asked him how he knew, he answer was simple. "Mom, I read a lot of books."

Thanks library for filling the gaps in this kids education.
