This simple activity from Dr. Lucy Rogers helps demonstrate the power of soap against viruses.
All you need is pepper, oil and water.
5. Design a handwashing device
Check out this contactless handwashing station in Cox's Bazaar refugee camp in Bangladesh.

Maybe you could design your own handwashing device for use in your school or community.
6. Make your own rainbow soap
