Small Science - Questions kids ask

During the Science class for my 4th graders chapter on AIR, we were discussing microbes and how they are carried in the air.

Typical Al Qamar kids - a zillion questions and a zillion comments.

"Its growing in Europe and North America"

"Its cold there"

"Not so much in Africa"

"Do the AC rooms make it spread?" - reference to growth in the Middle East.

"Can a virus go through the ocean?"

"How does a virus have babies?"

"What does it eat?"

"How does it start living?"

"How did it come from animals to human beings?"
