Slide Deck

Microorganisms and Hygiene

Use bright visuals with colors #FFCCCC, #FF9999, and #FF6666. Introduce the slide deck with an engaging title slide: 'Microorganisms and Hygiene'. Explain that this session will cover what bacteria and viruses are, how they spread, and how personal hygiene keeps us safe.

Meet the Microorganisms

Show visual representations of bacteria and viruses using colorful, simple animations. Reinforce the idea that these microorganisms are tiny but can have a big impact on health if not managed through proper hygiene.

Hygiene Practices

Highlight the importance of washing hands, bathing, and other hygiene practices. This slide should encourage students to think about how simple actions can prevent disease.

Why It Matters

Conclude by connecting the science to everyday life. Ask the students interactive questions to reinforce their understanding of the material.
