All ages enjoy exploration through hands on activities relating to a variety of scientific areas.
This exhibit allows for exploration of different experiments which can be done around the home. At COSI, you will meet with the same class, presenting an extension demonstration relating to what has already been explored with them in your visits to their class. You need to be able to carry through with activities and visits as well as be committed to fully developing your activities for in-class and COSI visits. Two to three hour blocks are needed so you can travel to Toledo to attend orientation, meet with COSI staff for team training, and meet with you assigned class one or twice at their home school. The Urban Schools Project provides a unique opportunity for students to work in an urban school setting helping to implement a program that has a systematic approach to the remediation of basic skills deficiencies and other problems that impede the achievement of at-risk students.
