Located within New Hampshire's Odiorne Point State Park, the Seacoast Science Center is a conservation nonprofit committed to "a healthy World Ocean." Readers who cannot visit the center in person will still find plenty to explore online. Visitors are welcomed to the site by a starfish, smiling seal, and list of upcoming events. Hop over to the menu icon in the top right corner for a detailed look at the site's content. For example, educators will enjoy the Rocky Shore Curriculum (found under the For Educators tab), an in-depth learning packet with seven weeks of material aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards and the Ocean Literacy Principles. This section offers both lesson plans and a unit schedule. The Explore & Learn and Workshops & Webinars tabs feature photo galleries, primers on ocean conservation, recorded presentations, and other informative materials. The Blog is another great resource, helping readers stay up-to-date on marine science. The Seacoast Science Center is supported by several sponsors, including the New Hampshire State Parks system.
