Gross Out Day
Gross Out Day
It's a GROSS kind of Day! For larger groups or multiple classes, we offer Gross Out Day (it's science, but please don't tell the kids)! Our Gross Out Day program allows you to select a variety (max 5) of our programs for groups to rotate through at your school. We can create or alter activities to meet your class needs, or join us at one of our partner parks: Vulcan Trail, Trussville on the Cahaba, Aldridge Gardens, Tannehill State Park or a park near you!

Example Gross Out Day Programs
K.3 - Use data from observations to distinguish characteristics of living and nonliving things. K.4 - Use observations to determine patterns of what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive, including light, water, and nutrients. 1.5 - Use information from observations to explain how various external features help living things survive, grow, and meet their needs. 2.7 - Obtain information to explain that there are many different kinds of living things that exist in habitats on land and in water.
7.6 - Analyze and interpret data to predict how environmental conditions, genetic factors, and resource availability will impact the growth of individual organisms and populations of organisms in an ecosystem 7.8 - Construct an explanation that predicts patterns of interactions between and among organisms in different ecosystem 7.10 - 0. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about characteristic animal behaviors and specialized plant structures and their effect on the probability of successful reproduction
3.6 - Use data to provide evidence that plants and animals have observable traits inherited from parents and that variations of these traits exist in groups of similar organisms. 3.9 - Construct an explanation from evidence of how variations in characteristics among individuals of the same species may provide advantages in surviving, finding mates, and reproducing. 3.10 - Make a claim from evidence that an organism's likelihood of survival depends upon access to sufficient resources in its habitat, including sunlight, air, water, food, and shelter. 4.8 - Make a claim, using evidence, that the functions of both internal and external structures of plants and animals (including humans) support growth, survival, and behavior. 4.9 - Carry out investigations to support a claim that different animals receive information through their senses, process that information, and respond in various ways. 5.8 - Use evidence to explain that energy from the sun is present in animals’ food and is used for body repair, growth, motion, and maintenance of body warmth. 5.9 - Create and use a model to explain the transfer of matter and energy between the environment and organisms within it.

We will provide a live animal show for your students to safely interact with wildlife. Different animals are available at different times. Inquire through the email for price and available animals.
