Dr. H's Sciencisms Explain: Germs

Dr. H is an immunologist who started teaching children about scientific curiosities using fun rhymes and simple diagrams after trying to explain scientific facts to her son. By making science fun and simplified, Dr. H hopes that children will learn more about how not only the human body functions, but how our bodies interact with the microorganisms surrounding us. In this first book, Dr. H introduces the concept of "germs". Germs are often a difficult concept for young children to grasp, despite hearing about them on a daily basis as the reason for hand washing, getting sick, etc. Using fun rhymes, this book introduces children to the idea that not all germs are "bad" and not all germs look the same. This book provides the foundation for other books in the series, including those related to specific microbes, like bacteria and viruses. This is a great resource for anyone wanting to introduce complex concepts related to the immune system and microbes to young children to stimulate interest or a conversation about health. Look out for other books in this series!This book provides a general overview of the following concepts to an audience under the age of 10: - Germs are too small to see - Germs are everywhere - inside and outside our bodies- The immune system protects against "bad" germs- Different types of germs (viruses, bacteria, fungus, and parasites)- Why germs can make us sick
