Education at Home - Resources and Links
Primary tabs

The COVID-19 pandemic has created new challenges for teachers and parents trying to continue their students' education online and at home. Parents and teachers may not have access to resources that engage and educate students as they might in a classroom.
Listed below are links to help bridge the gaps and encourage scientific inquiry and creativity!
We’ve grouped links into a few general topics that we think will be engaging for a variety of students and grade levels. Engagement with your student is a key element in successful education! Please do not assume that a strong science background is required to ask the “right” questions. It's more important to encourage students to observe, think, analyze, explain, justify, and even argue their opinion. Sample discussion questions could include:
"What do you notice about _____?"
"Why do you think _____ happened?"
"How would you respond if _____ ?"
We will continue adding links and resources below as they are identified throughout this challenging time. Please feel free to share resources you discover that might be added here, and share positive and negative feedback on resources as appropriate. Email us at nh.seagrant@unh.edu.

Enjoy and have fun!
Resources and Links by Topic
Notes from our Education Team
Use of the resources and links above should be combined with good science education practices as identified in the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) Framework and Standards:
- Activities that engage students in observation, analysis, hypothesis generation, and argumentation effectively support the outcomes embodied in NGSS.
- Any question, and ensuing discussion, that encourages the student to observe, think, analyze, explain, and justify will significantly increase the impact of the activity on learning.
The sites identified above are were not developed by NH Sea Grant, and we can therefore not guarantee the total quality or veracity of the materials or claims made within, or additional pages that may be linked from those sites. However, we believe that these resources are made in good faith and recommend their exploration for students and educators looking for marine educational resources.
Better Together
NH Sea Grant works in close partnership with other groups, departments, and institutes at the University of New Hampshire and across the state to meet our research, extension, and education mission.
