Animal Grossology
Feb. 5 - Sept. 5, 2011
Explore the disgusting side of science with some of the slimiest, stinkiest and downright yuckiest creatures on earth in this new blockbuster exhibition. Featuring sophisticated animatronics, interactive learning games, and imaginative animated characters adapted from the best-selling Grossology children’s book series by author/science teacher Sylvia Branzei. Oozing with disgusting science and interactive learning games, this exhibit is sure to provide a unique perspective on the animal kingdom.
Fifteen hands-on stations feature such gross subjects as “Dung Ball Rally,” “Blood Sucker Blow-up” and “The Slime Game” that teach lessons such as how the waste of some animals actually helps others survive, ways to avoid diseases such as Lyme or West Nile, and that slime serves many important functions for animals, from facilitating motion to digestion to defense.
$5 for adults, $3 for children (ages 3-12) in addition to general admission
The exhibition was created and produced by Advanced Exhibits, a division of Advanced Animations LLC, in collaboration with Sylvia Branzei, the author of the Grossology series of books. The books are published through Price Stern Sloan, a member of Penguin (USA) Inc., of which Grossology is a registered trademark.
