Swab that Teacher!
The school magazine team conducted a covert experiment in which we
discovered exactly how clean our teachers were.
Can you guess which teacher’s germs came from which room?
1.
2.
3.
We went about this experiment to learn more about how bacteria a?ects our daily
lives and to what extent. The results, as you can see, were rather shocking.
We conducted this experiment to see the copious amounts of bacteria and bugs in our
daily lives. A simple tap or keyboard that looks clean can actually be an armada of
germs. Did you know your hands are the biggest spreader of germs a household envi?
ronment and that a er ?ushing the bog, germs can travel up to six feet poten ally land?
ing on your toothbrush? Did you also know your bath and shower contain more bacte?
ria than your bin which incidentally can live up to a month? The average o?ce desk is
home to around 20,000 germs, that’s 400 mes more than what lies on a toilet. So
please, be more aware of hygiene and bacteria in your daily lives and don’t forget to
WASH YOUR HANDS. Especially the teachers who were swabbed by our crack team!
