Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

               Wow! Everything and more than you every wanted to know about Poop.

David tracking the movement of the food through the digestive system. 

The world's largest Poop over my head, 1o inches wide by over 3 feet long, the blue whales really crank it out. 
On the Wall of a 1001 Uses for Poop.  We each picked out our favorite uses. 

Angel's pick-"NASA is studying how to burn astronaut poop and other waste to power a spaceship."

Joseph's pick-"Termites mix poop with chewed wood to build termite mounds; making  termite mounds the largest structure made of poop."

Alyssa's pick-"Some tropical frogs camouflage themselves as poop."

David's pick-"Bird dropping dropping were used as root canal filler in teeth in the 1800's."

My Pick-"Soldiers used bat guana as gunpowder from the War of 1812 up until WWI."

WOW!! A whole wall devoted to the uses of poop, that' s so cool! I loved the fun fact about the worlds largest poop. Just imagine, if a blue whale can pass a poop that big i bet his burps blow other fish straight out of the water!
