Pus spewing from a wound? Snot running down a nose? An itchy red bite you got outside? That's gross! In this class we visit the science behind a variety of 'gross' things which include vomit, pus, snot, bites, and stings. Come with me as we explore the science of why these things are necessary for both humans and other species of animals. 

In this class which features heavily on class discussion and class participation from students, we will look at slides, videos, and pictures of where these things are found and species of animals who use them as defense mechanisms. We also play the game: What bite/sting did this come from? 

WARNING: These things are gross! We will watch a frog vomit up his STOMACH!! We will view pictures of snot and pus. This class is not for the faint of heart! You might not want to take this class right before you eat :-)
