Germs: Fact and Fiction, Friends and Foes

Cline-Ransome, L.
Germs are all around us: in our bodies, on the food we eat, and even on the crayon we just used to draw a picture. Some are helpful and some are dangerous. This colourful, engaging, and informative resource takes readers of all levels on a journey through time, exploring the history of germs and diseases, and providing information on scientific influences and developments throughout human history. Suitable for both a younger and an older audience, the book complements a Grade 2–6 Physical and Health Education class particularly well, lending itself to discussions about improving personal well-being and preventing illnesses. Students may be encouraged to create posters on hygiene, study how medicine has changed over time, or compare and contrast helpful and harmful germs.
