To help students understand the important role they play in stopping the spread of germs and illness, invite a school nurse or other health professional to talk to your class.

For example: • Guide students in Internet use. Encourage them to research other objects and places that are “hot spots” for germs, such as railings, lockers, shared writing instruments and video game controls. Suggest they start by using search engine key words (such as “germs” and “hand washing”). Remind students that not all Web sites can be trusted. Government Web sites, however, do offer reliable information for the public—point out that these sites usually end in “.gov.” • Have students create a map of the germ “hot spots” in a location of their choice, such as at home, in the classroom or elsewhere. Ask for volunteers to talk about their maps and why certain areas or objects may have more germs.
