Hi Jackson!
This is a really important project topic to study!
Please let the mentors know what (if any) requirements your teacher has for science projects, as this will help the mentors better help you to brainstorm project ideas that are permitted by your teacher to pursue.
Here are some project ideas you may want to look at that are related to disinfectants/hand sanitizers:
1) This project deals with how well soap cleans people's hands by looking for germs before and after people wash their hands:

You could modify this project to use different types of soap and use unwashed hands as a control group (more on what a control group is here:
https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... /variables). Using different types/brands of soap would help you test which one best removes germs from people's hands, so you could also modify the project that way.
2) This project helps you study soap by making it! (link here:
https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... -make-soap)
Also, try typing different words into the search bar (which should be located at the top right corner of your screen) on the ScienceBuddies website and select "Science Projects" to see what projects are available in relation to the words you searched.
Some words you may want to try are: soap, sneeze, wipes, chemistry, or disinfectant. Scroll down for a great list of cool science projects you can use or adapt according to what you hope to learn through your project!
Hope this helps,
