What Would You Do For Science? (broadcast Friday, December 28th, 2007)

In this segment, we'll talk about some of the most bizarre science experiments of all time--including elephants on hallucinogens, scientific tickling, and bringing dogs back to life.

Plus, what's it like for the people who participate in extreme experiments? We'll hear from a woman who was blindfolded for five days and another subject who spent 84 days lying in bed. Teachers, find more information about using Science Friday as a classroom resource in the Kids' Connection.
