Do you remember learning how to wash hands properly in kindergarten?

Here are Mrs Scott's students taking 20 to 30 seconds to thoroughly sanitize their hands.

Students watched a video on how to hand wash
Then teachers used a black light to show how washing their own hands longer than 5, 10, or 15 seconds made a difference killing germs. The longer the soap was used, the more germs killed. 5, 10 or 15 seconds was NOT LONG ENOUGH to do the job.
Students recorded on paper how length of time effects hand cleanliness.
Then students soaped up their own hands as long as it took to sing their ABCs or the Happy Birthday song.
Finally, the black light was used to show how well the students washed.
