Planning

AIM: I want to find out how far I can sneeze.

Method:

1. Lay the paper out as far as you want on the ground, keep in mind it needs to be about 5 meters and strait.
2. Get a plastic cup and full it up with water.
3. Add 10 drips of food colouring to the water per 100 ml
4. Take a small sip of the mixture swish it around your mouth. Try and get 5 ml of the mixture.
5. Do not swallow!
6. Then time to sneeze. If you are unable to sneeze do a fake one.
7. Look ahead to try and make sure not to get it on your clothes.
8. If you get it on you try and wipe it off with a tissue
9. Measure where your germs have gone.

Equipment:

• Orange food colouring
• Water
• A big roll of butcher paper
• Tissues
• Cup
• Tape or heavy rocks

Conclusion

I found out that spit can travel about three meters when you sneeze.

Discussion

Next I would like to find out, why do you have to close our eyes when you sneeze?

Explaining

Next time we will look after the food colouring and keep it away from others that are not in the group.

Why do we sneeze? We sneeze when a particle of dirt or something else  flies up your nose, then your next reaction is to get it out of your nose by your sneezing.
