Welcome students and introduce today’s detective adventure. Encourage excitement about finding hidden germs.

Ask students if they have heard the word “germs” before. Use simple everyday examples to connect.

Define key terms and show simple pictures if available. Check for understanding by asking volunteers to repeat definitions.

Engage students: have them point around the room or call out places they think might be germy.

Show pictures or icons of each hotspot. Encourage students to point out any other hotspots in their classroom.

Explain the UV light activity coming up. Emphasize that germs glow under UV so we can find them.

Review effective ways to kill or remove germs. Demonstrate hand-washing motions if possible.

Transition to the Classroom Germ Hunt activity. Remind students to work safely and record their findings.

Wrap up the presentation. Prepare students to share their top findings before the pledge.
