New England Aquarium

The New England Aquarium will create Conservation STEM - an online curriculum that features engaging videos and hands-on activities aligned with state and national standards that are easily accessible for teachers to use in the classroom. The project responds to a need that the aquarium's Teacher Advisory Council - composed of Pre-K through 12 teachers from the greater Boston area - identified, which was to help students develop critical and systems thinking skills. It also will provide a means for teachers to engage students with authentic experiences to address real-world problems and build an understanding of the need for a balanced use of the ocean.
