Science on the Shallowest Great Lake
Living on South Bass Island means Stone Lab, Ohio State’s island campus located across the water from Put-in-Bay, is never far from people’s minds. For Melissa Kowalski, the science teacher for the 34 students in grades 7-12 at Put-in-Bay schools, the lab building is a familiar sight, and she’s taken classes there in the past.
But last summer, Kowalski took her professional development to the next level, spending a week on a research vessel working with scientists and other educators on bringing hands-on Lake Erie science back to her classroom.
