The experiment sees pepper in water repelled from a student’s hand when touched with soapy water, to which the pupils can be heard saying “It moved!”

Posting the video to Instagram, Amanda Lorenzo said: “Learning about the importance of washing our hands… So much fun and very informative!”

Ms Lorenzo told the PA news agency: “I’m happy I was able to spread awareness with my video! I had no idea it would go ‘viral’, but I’m happy it did if I was able to help anyone in the process!
