      4-H Youth Development
Welcome to 4-H in the Classroom ! 
         More and more elementary and middle schools across Ohio are becoming involved in 4-H school enrichment programs. Guided by OSU Extension personnel, students in the programs learn difficult science concepts through a variety of hands-on activities, developing valuable science skills as they apply science to real-life situations. The programs are designed to enhance existing classroom science units.

         Each 4-H school enrichment program is supported by program-specific curriculum materials developed by science educators at The Ohio State University. Each is targeted to meet selected science proficiency goals identified in Ohio's State Science Competency model.

         Currently, three program topics are being used in Union County schools: Go Plants!, The Incredible Egg, and The Breads of Harvest.   Other programs that are available include: Rockets Away, Fishy Science, Beans about Water, and Weather Together.

         Karen Gwilliams, 4-H program assistant for OSU Extension, Union County, leads the Union County 4-H school enrichment program. Currently Marysville, Fairbanks, and North Union Elementary Schools along with St. Paul's and Trinity Lutheran Schools have one or more classrooms involved in the program. If your classroom or school is interested in participating in this program, Karen can be contacted at 937-644-8117, 1-800-589-8584 or by e-mail at unio@postoffice.ag.ohio-state.edu.
