"Grossology: The Impolite Science of the Human Body," is
touring Arkansas now!

Grossology is sponsored statewide by Arkansas Children's Hospital.

Make your own fluvial storm and see how sand dunes are formed and destroyed by water.

Materials: Small, clear glass container (baby food jar); fine sand or glitter; small pebbles or beads.

Fill the clean glass container about 1/4th full using fine sand or glitter. Add several small beads, pebbles or similar items to produce a rough scape. Fill the container with water. (To eliminate any air bubbles, slightly overfill the container.) Carefully secure the lid. Gently swirl the container. Slowly swirl until only the finest sand is still swirling. Stop swirling. Observe the sand as it settles and creates a landscape inside the jar. Slowly swirl the container in the opposite direction. Change directions before the sand has completely settled. Repeat using faster motions. What happens each time you change directions?

Properly label and seal the finished product to keep it from being eaten.

Did you see Tom Noddy, the Bubble Guy, during his recent Arkansas tour? If you did, e-mail us your photos and we'll put them on our website to share with the world! Here are some pics we'd like to share with you!

Bubble Recipe
Straight from the Bubble Guy's website, a recipe for your own bubbles:

1 part dish soap (Tom's having the best luck with yellow Joy nowadays)
16 parts water (hard water is bad, rain water is excellent. Steam distilled water works)
8 parts Mr. Bubbles (actually, this is optional, but it can help)
Mix it well but don't make a lot of suds while mixing. Some say it is better the next day but if you use hot water that might not matter at all.

We can't wait until our next exhibit, the Mystery of the Mayan
Medallion, opens this fall at the Arts & Science Center for Southeast Arkansas in Pine Bluff. We've been searching all over the Internet and found some really cool games you can play to hold you over until it arrives. (You will have to have Flash installed on your computer to play these games.)
