The Peabody natural history museum together with the two local jewish day schools (Ezra Academy and Southern CT Hebrew Academy) hosted a program to teach young jewish children about the science of the plagues of passover.  There were live frogs, animals pelts, blood "making", a hail machine, crickets and cricket noise makers and more.  Zachary and Zoe had a great time and learned something too.  At the end we went on a hike and learned that poop can tell us a lot about the animal that made it!
Making blood:  water (plasma) red dye, rice (platelets), red beads (red blood cells), white beads (white blood cells), sprinkles (nutrients).  Very cool!
