Educator Resources
Welcome Educators! We invite you to use marine science in your classroom to cover NGSS standards.
Grades 3-5 Life Science Core Disciplinary Ideas from the Next Generation Science Standards are the focus of Exciting Echinoderms!, Food Webs, Super Shellfish, and Zooplankton. We've combined our own tailored learning activities with some tried and true classics. These classroom-ready lessons include a full net of resources to help you teach through the lens of ocean literacy with a focus on Maine’s marine organisms.
