Family Science Quest
COSI's Family Science Quest guides offer a way to experience our exhibits in a whole new way by using the questions, information, and activities. COSI's exhibits are designed according to the principles of inquiry.
The inquiry method of learning engages the learner by encouraging the visitor to ask questions, make observations, and draw conclusions. This way, the visitor truly learns about the content and the processes of science.
