| Let's Get Movin' |
Up, over, around, and through! This program offers a physically-engaging environment where students use their own bodies to explore the space around them.
COSI's "fitness instructor" leads students through an exercise routine to strengthen their understanding of basic spatial concepts. Students participate in an obstacle course and explore spatial relationships by using zip lines to make objects go.

| Cycle of Seasons |
As seasons change, so does the world around us. This program helps students identify and observe different characteristics of the four seasons.
Through the course of a "year," students are immersed in environments and explore how their clothing, activities, and surroundings change with the seasons. Students use their eyes, ears, and fingers to make observations as they and experience hands-on activity centers.

| Animal Tales |
Animals are all around us! This program allows students to embark on an adventure with a COSI "explorer" and are introduced to a variety of animals found in Central Ohio.
Using the power of observation, students identify similarities and differences among animals and discover common needs of all living things. Students will examine worms and build creative shelters for various animals at the hands-on activity centers.
