Beginning at 6 p.m., Bright Night attendees, children and adults alike, will explore the really gross science of the human body. Humans aren’t the only gross ones - our arthropod friends can be pretty disgusting too! How much snot does your body make in a day? How exactly do flies eat hamburgers and is bread really made from yeast farts? All of this and more will be revealed at the Bright Night of Grossology. Although the event will last all night, guests who prefer their own bed are welcome to stay late and head home at their leisure. Select museum areas are available as sleeping quarters for families who want to experience a full night at the museum.

For more information and pricing about the Bright Night of Grossology, please call 405-602-3760, or visit www.sciencemuseumok.org.

Young garden enthusiasts between the ages of 7-12 are invited to get down and dirty while they learn about the world of nature around them at the Myriad Botanical Gardens.

Campers will discover various native Oklahoma trees and learn how to identify them by their bark and they will get the dirt on different kinds of soil that plants live in. Campers will emerge from the week with a better understanding of how rain forests impact their lives, how plants and animals survive in their differing habitats, and with the ability to plant their own vegetable garden.

The Crystal Bridge Tropical Conservatory will become a mysterious world of discovery during a special rain forest scavenger hunt and a variety of craft projects will reinforce what they have learned.
