Description:

Get ready to dive into the slimy, smelly, totally ewwww world of animal survival! If you love all things gross, this hands-on class is your dream come true.

We’ll explore the wild and weird ways animals use things like blood, poop, slime, and even vomit to stay alive. And yes... you’ll get to make, touch, and investigate all kinds of gross-but-awesome stuff.

Students will have the chance to sculpt realistic poop models to learn about animal diets, dissect real owl pellets to uncover bones, mix up homemade snail slime to see why it’s so useful, and discover surprising “gross” animal adaptations that actually help humans too.

Come ready to squish, squeeze, and explore the messy side of nature. Aprons recommended. Every student leaves with a Gross Master certificate and a whole lot of weird, wonderful facts to share at dinner.
