Period 3 - Rm. D135

Did you know that the average adult's skin weighs about 7 pounds? EWWWW! The mouth is the most unsanitary part of the body. More than 100 million micro creatures live there at any one time. YUCK! Feet sweat because there are about 250,000 pores on their soles that squirt a quarter cup of liquid each day. GROSS!

WARNING: This class is not for those with a weak stomach! If you dare, join us as we explore the nasty, stinky, slimy world of Grossology: The science of Really Gross Things!

Topic Microscopic - Learn more about life under the microscope. Read the clue under each photo, take a guess, then find out what you're looking at!
