Masks: an easy & fun microscope lab activity for kids

A quick science lab experiment that can be done in-person for teachers and students who are able to hold face-to-face classes (or at home for those who have access to small handheld microscopes for an at-home experiment) that show the number of particles and dirt caught daily by our masks. Can be used to bring a relevant-to-the-times science experiment and facilitate a discussion on the importance of wearing masks in the classroom.

Abstract

A quick science lab experiment that can be done in-person for teachers and students who are able to hold face-to-face classes (or at home for those who have access to small handheld microscopes for an at-home experiment) that show the number of particles and dirt caught daily by our masks. Can be used to bring a relevant-to-the-times science experiment and facilitate a discussion on the importance of wearing masks in the classroom.
