Let's Make Poop!

Discover SCIENCE with Dr. Bear

How does our food actually become poop? Our kids got an up-close encounter with learning about the digestive system and how the food we eat gets processed into stinky, smelly poop by making a model of how poop exits the body. It was a fun, smelly activity. Keep an eye out as this activity will appear again later this summer.
