Science Fair winner

Mr. B. won third place at his school’s Science Fair with his experiment to test the common schoolteacher-instructed notion that sneezing or coughing into the inside of your elbow helps prevent the spread of germs. We used colored paper hole punches inside balloons to simulate germs and “elbows” cut out of index cards to surround the balloon. The experiment more or less proved the usefulness of the idea. Mr. B.  said there was more than one third place. About ten he thinks.
