Going mad with the kids stuck at home during Covid lockdowns?
Running out of ideas for fun and worthwhile home education activities?
Why not let the kids explore The Germs Worksheet: Viruses and Bacteria?

This 2 page set of worksheets is a great way for kids aged 9-13 to get educated about bacteria and viruses. It’s an established fact of psychology that learning about something, and exploring it honestly is a good coping mechanism, and will help to take away some of the panic and fear.
The worksheets include ‘multi-million factoids’ and related activities:
- Writing numbers of microbes in full numbers from powers of 10,
- Creating a story or comic about a virus called Vincent,
- Researching via suggested video and websites the key differences between Viruses and Bacteria.
- The worksheets include answers, space to work, and websites for further investigation.
