# Interesting Discoveries at Science Club!

It seemed topical for the Year 5 scientists to experiment with sneezing, testing out the hypothesis:

***Using a tissue when you sneeze helps to stop germs spreading.***

Our results showed that this is, in fact, true. Chris Whitty was right!

We had time to test out a supplementary hypothesis:

***Tall people spread more germs than short people.***

Interestingly, further testing led us to conclude that short people are the superspreaders!! If a vertically-challenged individual in your vicinity has a cold, our science clubbers have some sound advice...

Ruuuuuuuuuuuun!!!
