The Center of Science and Industry (COSI) came to Jordak Elementary School on Tuesday, March 10, and Wednesday, March 11, to teach students about “The Human Machine.” Students in Kindergarten through 4th grade attended an assembly in the JES gym, and then went through interactive stations that gave them first-hand experience with different elements of the human body.
There were nine interactive stations which included:
- Fats and Sugar
- Sticks and Stones (x-rays of body parts)
- Brain Games
- What’s your number? (heart rate)
- Extreme Humans (extreme feats)
- Mr. Bones (putting bones together in the right areas on the outline of a body)
- Build a Meal (building a healthy meal with plastic food)
- Humans are Gross (gross facts)
- Take a Closer Look (looking at things under a microscope: sun burnt skin, tongue surface, fingernail)
The “Humans Are Gross” station seemed to generate the most reaction from students, and was certainly the most talked about aspect of the experience!
