Importance of hand washing is to wash away any dirt or microbes that might
be on our hands. If you do not wash your hands you are not washing away
the microbes (you might get ill if any harmful microbes from your dirty hands
gets in your mouth or an open cut, or you could pass them on to someone
else).
We use our hands all the time, they are naturally covered with microbes that
live in our bodies and pick up millions of microbes from the environment
every day. Although many of these microbes are harmless, some could be
harmful.
We spread microbes to our friends and others through touch, and this is
why we wash our hands. One study found that people touch their face 23
times per hour, about 280 times a day; touch is an important sense to give
information to our brain, but we should be aware of how easy it is to spread
microbes when our hands are dirty.

What is the best way of getting rid of microbes from our hands?
What difference does using soap make?
When should we wash our hands?
 
Wash your hands with antimicrobial soap and water for at least 20
seconds, following the six steps for handwashing.
 
Soap breaks down the oils, which microbes stick to, on our hands.
 
Key moments:
Before, during and after preparing food; Before eating or handling ready to eat food; After
using the toilet or changing a soiled nappy/underwear; After exposure to animals or animal
waste; After coughing, sneezing, or blowing your nose; If you are ill or have been around ill
people.

Washing hands in water alone will only remove _ _ _ _ and

If soap is unavailable, we should use _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _  as

  1. Spread of Infection: Hand Hygiene Key Stage 2

  2. Learning Outcomes All students will: Understand that infection can be spread through unclean hands. Understand that hand washing can prevent the spread of infection. Understand when and how to wash hands. Most students will: Understand why we should use soap to wash our hands. Understand that washing hands is one of the best ways to prevent the spread of microbes e-Bug.eu

  3. Curriculum Links PHSE/RHSE Science habitats English Design and Technology Cooking and nutrition Art and Design Painting Recording observations Health and prevention Working scientifically Living things and their Animals, including humans Reading & comprehension e-Bug.eu

  4. Why is it Important to Wash our Hands? Importance of hand washing is to wash away any dirt or microbes that might be on our hands. If you do not wash your hands you are not washing away the microbes (you might get ill if any harmful microbes from your dirty hands gets in your mouth or an open cut, or you could pass them on to someone else). We use our hands all the time, they are naturally covered with microbes that live in our bodies and pick up millions of microbes from the environment every day. Although many of these microbes are harmless, some could be harmful. We spread microbes to our friends and others through touch, and this is why we wash our hands. One study found that people touch their face 23 times per hour, about 280 times a day; touch is an important sense to give information to our brain, but we should be aware of how easy it is to spread microbes when our hands are dirty. e-Bug.eu

  21. Healthy Hands Procedure - Answers My conclusions: What is the best way of getting rid of microbes from our hands? Wash your hands with antimicrobial soap and water for at least 20 seconds, following the six steps for handwashing. What difference does using soap make? Soap breaks down the oils, which microbes stick to, on our hands. When should we wash our hands? Key moments: Before, during and after preparing food; Before eating or handling ready to eat food; After using the toilet or changing a soiled nappy/underwear; After exposure to animals or animal waste; After coughing, sneezing, or blowing your nose; If you are ill or have been around ill people. Fascinating Fact 90% of germs on the hand are found under the nails! e-Bug.eu
