Germs get a bad rep. But what if we told you that less than 1% of germs make people ill? There are over 100 trillion microbes in our tummies that help us digest our food. They also help us fight disease and keep our skin looking neat and tidy. Germs can do us good!

This Half Term we are exploring how germs can not only be deadly, but also friendly. Our resident Thackray Boffins will look at what germs really are, and what happens when good and bad germs become unbalanced.

All activities included in your museum annual pass and suitable for all the family.
