EDUCATORS!
Let OH WOW! challenge and excite your students with our hands-on, interactive STEM-based exhibits, each one linked to Ohio and Pennsylvania content standards.

Students will gain greater understanding of the scientific process of inquiry as they explore our world-class facility and consider the following questions:
     1. What do you see or observe at each exhibit?
     2. What conclusions can you make based on your observations?
     3. What results do you get as you manipulate the variables and can those results be replicated?
