A Sticky Situation

grossology at sci-tech!

Sugar and spice and everything nice? More like snot rockets and sonic stinkers — that’s what kids are made of.

And they want to know why.

Full steam ahead to Grossology: the (Impolite) Science of the Human Body. The inaugural exhibit at Frisco’s Sci-Tech Discovery Center uses hands-on displays to answer sticky questions about the body and its functions.

Kids make like lunch and crawl through a 30-foot-long model of the digestive system, visit the vomit center to discover what makes them hurl (it’s not veggies), and climb a skin wall made of giant moles and warts.

Each of the dozen-plus activities is grossly educational.

And a stinkin’ good time.
