Grossology

Fitting right in with our Sciency Saturdays, today we went to the ECHO Center to see their back-by-popular-demand exhibit called "Grossology." The whole concept is gross things about the human body. There were nasty things to smell, mucousy things to touch, and hands-on exhibits about infections, belching, vomit and gas-passing.

















A giant "Operation" game.















This one was all about gas.















The "Drippy Faucet" (mucous)


















And finally, the burps and belches.
















It was an aptly-named exhibit, and (as you might imagine), Elijah enjoyed it IMMENSELY.

Mucous? Belching? Passing gas? Sounds like my family. Maybe I could charge admission.

I checked in earlier today to see if there were any new science experiments. We made oobleck.

What a fun exhibit! I can understand how popular it is with the kids! The one year I taught sixth grade science, that was the most popular topic with the boys during our Human Body unit!

Glad they brought this exhibit back! I would love to see it! How wonderful that the Echo is close enough for Elijah to visit!
