The Society’s and Science News for Students’ resident scientist and science writer Bethany Brookshire conducted several rounds of a snotty experiment. Teachers can use her video and blog posts to help explain experiments — and how to set them up — to their students
The first video in the Eureka! Lab series addresses questions like how far away from a sneeze do you need to stand to stay safe and how to test whether thick or thin snot flies farther during a sneeze.
