Bacteria Hand Washing Experiment Kit

Did you know you have millions of bacteria living on the largest organ in your body - your skin? While some bacteria are harmless, others cause illness and infectious diseases that can easily spread from person to person.  It's often said that one of the best ways to prevent the spread of illness is washing hands with warm running water and soap - is this really true? 

Use this complete bacteria hand washing experiment kit to test and demonstrate the importance of handwashing! 

With the included materials and instructions inside, you'll get to put different hand washing techniques to the test in more than one experiment as you use this kit to do the following:

• See how much bacteria grows from your dirty hands
• Lather & wash hands with 3 different types of soap
• Observe the growth of bacteria as you test the effectiveness of the 3 different types of soap
• Compare the bacteria from your unwashed hands to the bacteria from your "clean hands" to help you learn more about proper hand washing techniques & hygiene.

This bacteria hand washing experiment kit includes agar and petri dishes (for growing cultures), sterile swabs, and more! Simply provide a few soap samples and let the experimentation begin. 

You can even use the information and materials in this hand hygiene kit to develop your own hand washing science fair project!
