Students Get Hands-On with Plants at COSI
Second and third-grade students from Riverside Elementary School in Dublin, Ohio, participated in a unique multi-part study of plants at COSI on Friday, November 1, 2013. Their visit included a guided exploration of COSI's outdoor prairie with Robin Dungan, COSI Manager of Education Services, where the students examined Ohio's native flora. One plant they examined in particular is the Virginia Mountain Mint, which has a perfectly square stem. The students also participated in a flower dissection in COSI's Lily Pad lab space, led by COSI Outreach Educators Tyler Fox and Nick Steinbrecher, where they examined the tiny components that make up a flower. This special hands-on program was funded by a writing grant from The Ohio State University. COSI is Columbus, Ohio's dynamic Center of Science and Industry.
