Dow Chemical in Haverhill recently donated $1,000 to the Ironton High School Science Club. The money will be used to bring COSI on Wheels to the Ironton Middle School next spring.

“This is their third year to help us,” Ironton High School science teacher Linda Gagai explained. “Without this money we would not be able to do this.”

COSI on Wheels is a mobile unit that contains a variety of equipment, allowing middle-schoolers to have hands-on experience with different science experiments and activities. The high school science club members act as helpers for the event, giving them a chance to be teacher as well as student.

“I want to thank Dow for this,” Gagai said. “We have been able to expose our students to things outside the classroom. Dow is a great partner in our community and our schools and our children’s education.”
