If you counted how many things you touch in an hour, you would probably lose count. Every thing has some kind of bacteria and that is why it is important to learn about germs early. The Ology Helpful Germ Soap Kit helps people learn about germs and how some germs can actually help people. For example, did you know that the germ lactobacillus can actually help the body protect itself against harmful bacteria and viruses? And the germ ruminococcus is being used by scientists to discover more efficient ways to recycle plant products like paper and wood. Teach your children or student about these helpful germs in a creative and fun way--by making soap in molds of these germs!  Simply melt the glycerin pieces, pour into the molds, and you have actual environmentally-friendly soap that can be used for washing. The informative instruction manual also gives more tips for learning.This soap kit is from the Ology line by scientists and educators at the American Museum of Natural History. Ology products are a great way for kids and families to explore science together and for digging deep into big ideas and questions about the natural world.
