We wanted to find out about germs. Our teacher cut potatoes in half. We kept one half clean. We touched the other piece of the potato with our hands and then walked through the hall and rubbed it on the  floor, our lockers and the wall. We put both pieces of potato in a ziplock bag and put them in a dark cupboard for a week. Can you guess which half potato touched the most germs? We'll remember that germs are everywhere and  it's important to wash our hands before we eat.

We are counting our heartbeats at rest and after running in place. You can receive a free Heart Kit from the American Heart Association. Contact your local chapter.
