Fact Hunters: Vending machines, skin and toilets

This week we have a guest fact from Caleb. He attends Mead Primary but had heard about our fact hunter award and had a suggestion of his own...

Sydney Griffiths
Were you aware that the skin of the lip, with three to five cellular layers, is very thin compared to typical face skin, which has up to 16 layers?

Charlie Birdsey

Adam Trower
