The outdoors came inside at Robert Frost Elementary when COSI (Center of Science and Industry) brought its traveling program, Exploring Ecology, to school on October 18. Exploring Ecology is just one of six traveling science outreach programs from COSI, one of the nation’s leading science centers.
The day began with a 45-minute interactive assembly introducing the students to ecology, habitats, ecosystems, and adaptations. This fun, educational program was followed by numerous hands-on activities. Principal Sarah Berka expressed her appreciation to parent volunteers who made this event possible.
This COSI On Wheels program aligns with the Ohio Academic Content Standards and compliments National Science Education Standards.
