Tuesday: Clean and dry

Rocket sets a cup of water by the laptop.

Raven gasps. "What do you notice?"

"Oh! Water and laptops do not mix," Rocket says.

Nova nods. "Hint: dry is best."

Keep drinks and snacks away

Water can get inside a device and break it.

Crumbs can get stuck in the keys.

Eat and drink somewhere else.

Then wash your hands and come back.
