Body Lab Day: Glitter germs

Rocket holds up a jar of glitter.

"Let us pretend this is germs!" he says.

Raven asks, "What do you notice when we touch things?"

  1. Front teeth bite. Back teeth grind.
  2. Brush two times each day in little circles.
  3. Germs are too tiny to see.
  4. Soap and water wash germs away.
  5. Scrub for at least 20 seconds.
  6. Sleep gives your body a rest.
