Educational Programs
Guided tours of the Prairie Nature Center are available to groups or individuals throughout the year; however, we do request advanced notice is you would like to have a tour. The Prairie Nature Center also offers a Powerpoint slideshow on the plants that are found in our prairie habitat. Our educational programs may be offered at your site or classroom but also at our eight acre Nature Center.Please note that our programs are free but we do accept donations, our programs meet the current science curriculum requires laid out by the state of Ohio for grades K-12, our programs are adaptable to meet your needs or time restrictions and all of our programs are grounded on activities and thereby are fairly "hands-on" learning. Due to the Prairie Nature Center not having an indoor classroom, all activities hosted on the OSU-Marion campus will be conducted outdoors.We have a wide variety of program topics for you to choose from, some of which include:
- Animal homes and habitats
- Caretakers
- Fast Plants
- Insects
- Plants
- Prairie tours
- Web of life
