GROSSOLOGY |
Explore all the gross things our bodies do to keep us healthy at GROSSOLOGY: The (Impolite) Science of the Human Body. Premiering May 27, 2006. |
 Sometimes it’s stinky; sometimes it’s crusty; and sometimes
it’s slimy. Explore why our bodies produce mushy, oozy, scaly
and smelly gunk at GROSSOLOGY: The (Impolite) Science of the
Human Body during its summer appearance at ECHO. Based on the
best-selling book, GROSSOLOGY features giant, interactive
animatronics and outrageous exhibits and games to tell the good,
the bad, and the yucky about runny noses, body odor and much
more. GROSSOLOGY — sponsored by Vermont Children’s Hospital at
Fletcher Allen Health Care — will be at ECHO from May 27 through
September 4, 2006.
Exhibition highlights include:
- Nine-foot-tall “Nigel Nose-it-All”: Learn everything you
always wanted to know about the critical role of snot.
- “Y U Stink”: Smell your way through the world of body
odor.
- The “Skin Climbing Wall”: Use warts, hairs, and wounds
as hand and foot holds, while learning about pimples,
blisters, and bruises.
- “The Vomit Center”: Answers the timeless question, “Why
do we throw up?”
- “Toot Toot”: Create an orchestral arrangement of
not-so-classy gassy sounds.
- “Urine: The Game”: A virtual reality tour of the
kidneys.
- “Burp Man”: Pump enough soda pop into this huge cartoon
character, and the acid indigestion builds to his releasing
a humongous belch.
This blockbuster exhibit is fun for all ages, educational,
and just plain gross - you'll love it! Visit the
Grossology Website to see more of the exhibit. |
