Hello Parents, Educators, and Caregivers,
We are so happy that the child/children in your life are taking part in COSI Connects science learning kits! We have designed this Human Body box to be fun, engaging, and educational. We know education is important now more than ever, and COSI stands ready to be your partner with this COSI kit. Together, we will engage, inspire, and transform our students and youth in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) at school and at home.
This box is full of experiences designed to engage learners of all ages! As you look through the Activity Book found inside the kit, you will find step-by-step instructions, interactive questions that will promote critical thinking, and explanations of the science behind each activity. Each box contains the materials needed to complete each activity, but many activities also provide options to expand on the science using materials found at home. While many children will be able to independently complete all of these activities, this is a great opportunity for an adult, classmate, or sibling to join in the fun.
If you want to dig deeper into science content, additional experiences are available through our free COSI Connects digital platform, where you can filter videos and activities by topic and grade level. Check here to see new COSI Kit themes as they are released.
Click on the tabs below to find a description of each activity in this box, the Ohio Learning Standards that correspond to each of those activities, and additional resources.
Each COSI Connects Human Body box is filled with engaging, hands-on STEM activities. COSI’s education experts have created these activities to encourage and reinforce Ohio's Learning Standards. The instructions and materials needed are listed for each activity inside the Human Body activity book.
The Nervous System - In this activity, each child will learn about how signals are sent through the nerves in their body and how the nervous system controls everything they do! They will test their reaction time and test out optical illusions.
The Cardiovascular System - In this two-part activity, each child will learn how the cardiovascular system is constantly pumping blood throughout their entire body by creating a heart model and finding their pulse.
The Respiratory System - In this activity, each child will make a model of the lungs to learn about how the respiratory system works and is responsible for helping people to breathe.
The Digestive System - In this activity, each child will learn about the digestive system, and how it is responsible for breaking down food and absorbing nutrients. They will explore how bile works with a fun and colorful activity that uses soap, milk, and food coloring.
The Immune System - In this activity, each child will learn about some of the important parts of the immune system as they make a model of the different cells in blood. Then they will complete a simple activity with soap and pepper to demonstrate how we can help our immune systems out by washing our hands!

“Ohio’s Learning Standards emphasize skills like critical thinking and problem solving — qualities most sought by today’s employers. By teaching our students to apply these skills to what they are learning in school, we can make sure they are on track to graduate from high school and enjoy success in college, careers and life.” Ohio Department of Education
