Animal Grossology at The Museum of Natural Sciences
Ever wonder why dogs sniff each other’s rear ends, why cows need four stomachs to digest their food or why cats spit up hair balls? Here’s your chance to find out!
Animal Grossology, a new special exhibit at the NC Museum of Natural Sciences in downtown Raleigh, takes a unique and scientific look at nature’s slime-making,
vomit-munching and dookie-loving creatures.


Adapted from the best-selling Grossology children’s book series by author and science teacher Sylvia Branzei, this exhibit is oozing with disgusting science and entertaining hands-on learning games such as Blood Sucker Blow-Up, where visitors see what happens when ticks and mosquitoes have too much to drink, and Chew Chew Express, a detailed look at the various steps of digestion in cows, one of the gassiest animals on Earth.
Visitors will also learn how leeches are sometimes used after surgeries to assist in the healing process and why scientists are studying the slime produced by slugs and snails for clues in treating cystic fibrosis.
Safety tips are dispersed throughout the exhibit, such as what to do if a jellyfish stings you and how to protect your food at the next family picnic.
By the way, do you know what honey really is? How do you feel about bee barf on your biscuit?

If your a long time resident of Sumter Square Apt's, you know that
Easter is a special time for all our little ones!
3,000 easter eggs filled with yummy candy will be strewn about for the delight of the children,
as well as the chance to meet the infamous Easter Bunny!

Everyone will be gathering

We will be holding the entire hunt in the park area of the community, where the youngest children will be on one side of the creek and the older children on the other side of the creek. Parents will be able to keep a lookout for all of their children this way and not be seperated.

Children will be seperated in to age groups of 0-4 & 5-12.
When we are all assembled, ages 0-4 will follow the Easter Bunny to their designation. Ages 5-12 will be released in all of their chaos about 5 minutes later to their designation.

There will be 10 Golden Eggs this year!
The prizes are gonna be great, so keep your eyes peeled! We have everything from play-doh sets for the littlest bunnies...to Air Jams for the bigger bunnies!
4 Golden Eggs to be found for the 0-4 age group
6 Golden Eggs to be found in the 5-12 age group
NOTE: The Golden Eggs will not be hidden until ALL of our participants have gathered in the parking area infront of the office. PARENTS: The Golden Eggs are for the children to find..lol!
