GRUNGE SCIENCE
So what is GRUNGE SCIENCE?
An amazing Science Show full of disgusting experiments and outrageous science facts about the most weirdest and unbelievably gross things you can imagine!

Well maybe it's not THAT bad, but it is pretty gross.

Our GRUNGE scientists present some really cool experiments that kids can do for themselves at home. We use a range of safe, everyday objects and explain about science in everyday language. It's FUN, it's ENTERTAINING, and they'll never know that it's EDUCATIONAL to boot!

But be warned! We require lots of helpers in our workshops and you never know if it will be YOUR turn to get a dose of our famous VOMIT SLIME.

GRUNGE SCIENCE explores the areas and functions of the human body that teachers and students find disgusting to learn about such as Digestion, The Kidneys, The Bowels, Chewing, Swallowing, The Gases of the Body, Sweat and Blood. We also have a few surprises up our sleeves such as the Exploding Dessert, the Screaming Knife, Drinking Staws of Terror, the Hypno-Disc and the Ice Volcano just to liven things up.

Our workshops are designed to get students involved in science while mentioning the importance of safety. While the content may be gross, our Grunge Presenters explain the true science behind these horrible topics in language the kids will understand. Your students will have fun being grossed out, and so will you!
