Totally Gross: The Game of Science

This week we did something a little different, and played a game.  It was a board game called totally gross. It asked questions about science, had us do some weird things to demonstrate scientific principles, and had us do some simple lab experiments.

We did some really silly things like:

Mina had to try and flap her arms 180 times a minute because that's how fast a fly beats its wings.

Anna had to puff up and pretend to be a tick sucking blood, because they fill and grow when they eat.

Jack probably did the silliest thing in all. Jack had to talk out of his butt! This was to demonstrate how strong our glutenous maximus is. That's a fancy way to say butt muscle.

This game was super fun and we can't wait to play again. We laughed the ENTIRE time. Here's a picture of all of us showing off how our lips are actually the inside of our mouth, not part of our face.

Science Fact:  A mole can dig a hole 300 feet in one night.

Big other news! Jack lost a tooth and had his first basketball game today!
