Question

Are masks effective in slowing the spread of COVID-19? In a few sentences, make a hypothesis and design and describe an experiment on how you could TEST this yourself using common household materials.

Answer 1

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypothesis- if masks are used to protect yourself from Covid-19 then the spread of the virus will decrease

You could test this by:

Getting a mask and using materials such as shampoo, soap, honey, glue, or (safe) chemicals to see how much the masks absorbs the materials. By doing so you can show how the mask can help block certain materials from entering or leaving the mask area therefore slowing the spread of Covid.

Answer 2

Not really, because wearing a mask can lower your immune system and covid can be caught like any other virus body contact and body fluids. So since you can still get it through those ways then you're going to get it and be worse off than if you don't wear a mask.

you can test this by not wearing a mask and see how not bad it is catching covid over getting it while you wear a mask.
