Wanting a quick cup of water in the kitchen, Jupiter is quite shocked to discover a gecko on the ceiling right above him. What if it falls on his head? Luna soon explains that they geckos are especially good at sticking to walls and ceilings and assures him the gecko won’t fall on his head. But how do geckos stick to things? Is there some sort of special gecko glue on their feet? After a somewhat sticky experiment, the gang decides to make-believe they are geckos and see if they can figure out how to stick to things too. They learn that it is thousands of tiny toe hairs that help them stick to walls.

Educational Objective:
