Louis Pasteur

We have been learning about the Scientist Louis Pasteur.

Louis carried out some experiments to prove that germs are living things that can spread between objects and people, through touch or through the air. He used a microscope to see tiny mould germs living on food, and to see germs that cause diseases. His experiments convinced people that germs do spread diseases, and do not just appear.

We carried out an activity to show how germs spread. Three children placed their hands in a bowl of glitter. Then we all shook hands. The glitter spread all over our hands.

Please wash your hands!
