Grossology




We traveled about an hour away to visit the Grossology Exhibit. It is a national exhibit that travels to various cities throughout the year. The name really says it all; it is the Science of all that is gross in the body. Perfect for a pair of 7 year olds!!

Our science lesson this past week focused on the human digestive system. The exhibit provides a lesson plan on their website, so we were prepared for much of what we saw on Saturday. Knowing how long it takes for the bladder to fill up, the contents of snot, and the length of time it takes for food to progress from mouth to anus, just made it that more meaningful!

Lol, that looks like fun.

So, just how long does it take for the food from my mouth to reach my anus?

It sounds like a lot of gross fun that would keep me from eating for two to three hours afterwards.

Mike: we had a ball!!

Sharon: 24 hours from mouth to bootie! And it didn't stop us from eating one little bit. We left there and gorged for the next hour at a homestyle buffet!
