Mr. Slaptail's House

Mr. Slaptail is a retired engineer who spends most of his time building environmentally friendly contraptions. Mr. Slaptail's House is full of fun toys, wacky inventions, and interesting scientific experiments. By exploring rotting food in the Gross-Me-Out refrigerator, playing Race to the Peak, and talking with "real" scientists, visitors help Mr. Slaptail investigate how the air he breathes, the water he drinks, and the food he eats affects his health.

Gross-Me-Out - Check out the refrigerator for a time-lapse video of food rotting and examine actual rotting food.
Blue StarRace to the Peak - Answer questions about food choices and race to the top of a pyramid with Riff and Rosie.
Blue StarMeet the Scientists- Listen to voices of scientists who are helping Mr. Slaptail solve the environmental mysteries of Brightwater Corners.
Blue StarInventor’s Bench - Create a model, an invention or a collage to take home.
