Top tips for delivering these at school and home

We understand that most schools are adapting, teaching mixed-age groups or delivering remotely, and many parents are attempting to navigate homeschooling for the first time.

Though these lesson plans weren’t designed for homeschooling, they are adaptable. We advise that you read through the lesson plan first and go through the presentation with your child; you’re guaranteed to learn something new too! Don’t feel that you have to do everything. Choose what you and your child are interested in and get creative if you don’t have the tools you need.

Our experienced Education Team have some top tips for how to get the most out of each lesson whether you’re at school or home.

We hope you all enjoy these lessons and that they inspire you all to become ocean activists from your homes and schools. If you have any questions or feedback, get in touch with us at [email protected].
