Thursday, Dec. 8, is one of the most fun days of the school year at Ada elementary. (There's lots of learning that takes place, too.)

The Ada Academic Boosters bring COSI on Wheels to kindergarten through fifth graders. The day also includes hands-on learning for elementary students.The Booster need volunteers to make the day a success.

"This is a major undertaking and takes a lot of volunteers to make happen. We are looking for 15-20 volunteers to spend half or all of the day with us from 8 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. on Dec. 8," according to Lori Poling.

If you are interested in helping please contact Poling from Academic Boosters at [email protected] or call the elementary office.

The outdoors comes inside.

This innovative, interactive program will stimulate the imaginations of the next generation of scientists. Exploring Ecology is just one of six traveling science outreach programs from COSI.

The day begins with a 45-minute interactive assembly introducing the students to ecology, habitats, ecosystems, and adaptations.

This fun, educational assembly is followed by hands-on activities during which the students will investigate an ecosystem, examine tree rings and explore animal adaptations.

This COSI On Wheels program aligns with the Ohio Academic Content Standards and compliments the National Science Education Standards to deliver an amazing science learning experience directly to the school. COSI is a hands-on science center located in Columbus, Ohio.
