At home you will take post it notes and for 2 school nights or one day at home you will put a sticky note on everything you touch.  You do not have to place them on you cell phone or tablets because it is well known that is a surface that is touched often.  You are to write a 1 page write up telling me before the experiment were to you think you will see the most post it notes.  After performing the experiment tell me your observations.  What did end up being the top surfaces and items touched.  Did anything or surface surprise you for how often you touched it.  What does this observation teach you about the spread of microorganisms.  Do you find this to be helpful in understanding the importance of working to break the chain of infection, why? i need the answers asap

Top surfaces touched (in a household): doorknobs, household appliances, electronic devices, countertops, tables, chairs, etc.

Explanation:

The top surfaces and items touched were doorknobs, household appliances (fridges, microwaves, sinks, etc), light switches, and countertops. Something that surprised me the most that I touched were the household appliances. I didn't realize how many times I touched the refrigerator and microwave. This observation taught me that microorganisms can spread easily. Just because we aren't around people who sneeze/cough doesn't mean we completely avoid the bacteria. If someone sneezes into their hands and then touches a door knob, everyone who touches it will contract the bacteria. Yes, I find this helpful in understanding the importance of working to break the chain of infection. You should be washing your hands constantly to kill off any bacteria you might've touched in your house. If you're in public and you don't have direct access to a sink, use hand sanitizer and wash your hands as soon as you get home.

Hope this helps!
