this related to science or biology it will be very informative for 5th to 10th class students and the person who are interested in microbiology and for additional information in biology.

4.  Microbes and micro-organisms are tiny living
organisms that are to small to be seen
without a microscope.
 Bacteria,Viruses and Fungi are microbes.
 Viruses are the smallest microbes.
 6 million viruses are needed to make a line of
1mm row.
 The microbes that make us ill are also called
germs.

6.  Food poisoning
 Whooping cough
 Boils
 Pneumonia
 Leprosy
 Diphtheria
 Tooth decay

15.  Colds
 Influenza (flu)
 Measles
 Mumps
 Chicken pox

22.  Athletes foot
 Ringworm

25.  Sneezing and cough can spread germs.
 Dirty skin and hands, un brushed teeth, can
also cause germs to spread and multiply.
 If people are careless when they store ,
preserve or handle food, it can spread germs.
 Uncovered dustbins can attract flies, rats and
mice which all spread germs.
 Germs are also catch by drinking dirty water
or by touching a person who has some kind of
illness or by touching animals.

26.  Colds are caused by viruses.
 If someone has a bad cold that makes him or
her cough or sneeze, some viruses will be
shot out into the air.
 If you breathe in some of the viruses, they will
settle in your nose and throat where it is
warm and moist.
 There are the viruses will multiply rapidly and
soon you will have a cold.

28.  Some of the deadliest diseases are spread by
dirty water.
 For example:
i. Dysentery
ii. Cholera
iii. Typhoid
 The microbes that cause these diseases
reproduce in the intestines of the people,
although these carriers do not always show the
symptoms of the diseases.

29.  If the microbes are passed out of the body in
the faeces near a well or stream, the
microbes may get into water which people
have to drink or use to wash their hand.
 The microbes may then be taken into
people’s bodies so passing on the disease.
