The spread of disease via the hands is well documented. Some sources believe that the single most important skill needed in the prevention of food borne illness is frequent and thorough hand washing.

This kit contains a simple, fun but effective method of teaching good hand washing skills. Students can actually see the "germs" on their hands and try to wash them off. Each kit contains a teaching outline, supplies, and equipment needed to teach when to wash hands and how to thoroughly wash. Fluorescent liquid "Glo Germ" and an ultraviolet light make this a fun and visual learning experience. Specific needs for this project are a sink with hot and cold running water and a room or location that can be darkened.
