Source Institutions
    
  Everybody loves messy science, and Flubber is a favorite of both COSI employees and guests!
   
COSI's Bubble Recipe
Source Institutions
    
  Everybody loves bubbles, and this is the best bubble recipe ever!
   
Magnetisphere
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity about magnetism (page seven of the pdf), learners experiment with magnets to better understand how magnetic fields work.
   
In Proportion
Source Institutions
    
  Through this nutrition activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will understand—and probably be surprised by—how big serving sizes of various foods should be.
   
Dangling Magnet
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity about magnetism (page 13 of the pdf), learners will experiment with magnets to explore how water and other liquids affect the strength of magnetic fields.
   
Bird Watching
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners will observe birds in their backyard or local park. They will attempt to find common Ohio birds and will look for bird behaviors just like an ornithologist.
   
Food Chains
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners will explore the roles of different animals in the food chain. They will create their own food chain using organisms of their choice.
   
What's for Dinner?
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will create a food web and explore food sources for different organisms. They will identify relationships between organisms in an ecosystem.
   
Glitter Bottles
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners will create glitter bottles with adult supervision. These are a fun way for little ones to practice observing and making comparisons.
   
Baffling Body
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners will learn about proprioception, or the body's sense of its place and position in space.
   
COSI Quicksand
Source Institutions
    
  In this chemistry experiment, learners get to make a very bizarre substance using corn starch and water. Is it a solid? Is it a liquid? Or is it a different kind of substance entirely?
   
Catapult
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity about transfer of energy, learners get to build their own catapult using nothing more than a plastic spoon and some tape.
   
Chain Reaction II
Source Institutions
    
  In this hands-on activity, learners use an assortment of (mainly household) items to complete Rube Goldberg-type challenges.
   
Magnetic Pendulum
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity about magnetism (page 15 of the PDF), learners will explore how opposite and similar magnetic poles affect a swinging (pendulum) magnet.
   
Peanut Butter and Jelly Robot
Source Institutions
    
  This is an activity about robotics programming. Learners will discover how precise programmers have to be as they instruct a friend to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
   
Limewater
Source Institutions
    
  This is a chemistry lab activity about solutions (page 6 of the PDF). Students make a limewater testing solution for carbon dioxide and explore the concepts of solubility and precipitates.
   
Hot Potato
Source Institutions
    
  In this health activity (page 7 of the PDF), learners will discover the importance of handwashing as a factor in reducing the spread of pathogens.
   
Hot Spoons
Source Institutions
    
  In this physics activity (page 2 of the PDF), learners will explore the concept of thermal conductivity and learn the differences between high and low thermal conductivity.
   
Paper Airplane Contest
Source Institutions
    
  In this fun physics activity (page 9 of the pdf), learners take part in a paper airplane design challenge.
   
Falling Faster
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity about gravity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will come to understand how all objects will fall at the same rate, but that air will slow things down.
