FaSMEd Dear Year 6, I heard you guys are great with Science - I need your help! I have a bad cold and my Granny says she doesn't want me to give it to her. I don't know what she means, I usually give her flowers! Anyway, I wondered if you can help? My Granny is certain that she will catch my cold. Is there anything I can do to stop this happening? Yours sincerely, Bob March 2015 3
FaSMEd What does Bob mean when he says Granny doesn't want him to 'give me a cold'? Are there any other words or phrases we use when we talk about illnesses spreading? Talk to a friend - 1 minute! What are we really doing when we 'catch a cold'? March 2015 4
FaSMEd What kind of things do people do to try to stop micro-organisms such as the cold or flu virus spreading? We are going to investigate which is the best way to stop a sneeze travelling. Stick your post-it note next to the method you think is best. March 2015 5

FaSMEd On your paper, write a letter back to Bob. You will need to: - explain what his Granny means by 'giving a cold' - explain how micro-organisms are spread when you have a cold - tell him what he should do to help stop his cold spreading after your experiment - tell him anything else you know that he can do to prevent his cold spreading March 2015 11
