Get the inside scoop about your insides. Our giant friend Stuffee will keep children guessing as they learn about the organs that make our bodies work. Why is the small intestine longer then the large intestine? What is it that our lungs really do? Children will have fun with Stuffee as we pull his insides out. They will also listen to each other’s heart beat and make a Happy Health Book to take home.
Students will be divided into three groups with 30 minutes with Stuffee, 30 minutes of hands-on activities and 30 minutes of museum exploration.
Groups will rotate through all three activities. The additional 30 minutes will accommodate orientation and rotation time.
