Elementary students got a chance to enjoy some gooey fun while learning a science lesson ahead of the holiday break.
“We're the last line of defense,” Welker said. “We feel strongly that we're here to protect the environment, and it's a complicated procedure, but we're going to explain to them how we use biology to get waste out of water so it can be returned back into the water use stream.”
The Ohio State University at Lima and Lima City Schools have teamed up through the William Fowler Science Series to inspire future scientists.
In the halls of a few of the academic buildings at Ohio Northern University, the sounds of learning can be heard. It may be summer, and most of the students are off-campus, but those excited voices are from over 70 local 7th and 8th grade girls, who are there for camp. Camp GEMS - or Girls in Engineering, Math, and Science, is designed to give the girls who attend an idea of the different career paths surrounding STEM that they could go into one day.
