Grossology

Big Man had his monthly class at the Science Center last week. It was all about human grossology (a.k.a. burping, farting, pooping, vomiting etc...) Needless to say he though it was pretty cool. First we went through the new exhibit. This huge nose explains how snot is made.
Here he is trying to shoot balls into a nose to make it sneeze.
This is back in the classroom where he has made snot.
This is a demonstration on why people burp. The teacher put vinegar and baking soda in a bottle and showed how it filled up the balloon. He especially loved this experiment and wants to do it at home every day now.
This is edible earwax and a cotton ball made out of marshmallows and toothpicks. The favorite take home toy of the day, though, was a whoopie cushion, which has been getting a lot of use!
