May 23, 2008 - September 7, 2008
Meet some of the stinkiest, slimiest and downright yuckiest creatures on Earth at Discovery Science Center’s summer 2008 exhibition, Animal Grossology.
Animal Grossology is an interactive exhibition that takes a slightly different view of Fluffy, Fido and the rest of the Animal Kingdom. The exhibition takes solid science information and incorporates it into interactive entertainment that translates into big fun while learning.
Learn why the dung beetle is considered nature’s original pooper scooper; why cows chew cud; and why snail and slug slime might provide scientists with more insights into treating cystic fibrosis.

From May 23 to Sept. 7, 2008, Bob the Builder and his can-do crew invite aspiring builders and their families help to get the job done, as the first-ever hands-on Bob the Builder–Project: Build It traveling museum exhibit visits Taco Bell Discovery Science Center.
This 2,000 square-foot multimedia exhibit is sponsored nationally by Indianapolis-based Delta Faucet Company and inspired by HIT Entertainment’s top-rated television series, Bob the Builder – Project: Build It. It will replicate elements from Bob the Builder’s world in Sunflower Valley, inviting exploration, inspiring teamwork and bringing environmentally friendly building themes to life for children and families.

The Bob the Builder – Project: Build It traveling museum exhibit will invite families to spend time in Sunflower Valley with Bob the Builder, Wendy and the rest of the can-do crew. Children can practice their own fixing with kid-smart activities that build up their can-do attitudes and encourage them to be an active part of Bob the Builder – Project: Build It.
Families can also work together to install new parts to sinks in Bob the Builder’s mobile home and in his building workshop, and learn about water conservation, courtesy of exhibit presenter Delta Faucet Company. |
