Break Away from Good, Clean Fun in Grossology

Grossology: The (Impolite) Science of the Human Body tackles all the sticky sources of children's curiosity. Based on the best-selling book Grossology by Sylvia Branzei, the exhibit runs through May 13, 2012. The exhibit's goal is to harness kids' natural curiosity about themselves and their bodies by teaching them about how the fascinating human body functions. Kids of all ages will enjoy exploring this interactive environment which promotes learning while having fun.

The learning environments in Grossology provide fun and creative opportunities for interacting play, including:

• Mimic the build of acid indigestion by causing the "Burp Machine" to release a giant belch.

• Scale a wall full of warts, scabs and pimples.

• Explore the role of the kidney in a virtual reality experience in "Urine: The Game."

• Play surgery and attempt to remove organ parts from a body without touching the sides of the patient.
• Find out what causes runny noses, sneezes and allergies with Nigel Nose-It-All.

 

Grossology carefully pairs educational content with every activity. A traveling exhibit, Grossology was developed by Science World, Advanced Exhibits, and author Sylvia Branzei.
