At a time when all members of the household are engaged in minimizing the spread of potentially harmful bacteria, Microban 24 is introducing an educational 24-hour science experiment for students. The Microban 24 24-Hour Experiment is a new tool that shares at-home experiments and activities that can be worked into science curriculums in the classroom or home learning sessions.

Created in partnership with microbiologists, medical experts and PTO Today, a School Family Media platform, the experiment helps to make students aware of just how quickly bacteria can spread within a 24-hour window. The resources include a virtual lab tour, educational worksheets, memory games, word puzzles and more, all of which are designed to support parents and students as they adjust to unfamiliar schooling situations.
