Welcome to our page of FREE resources for Primary and Secondary Educators. We have arranged them alongside the events they were inspired by to reinforce learning, but many can be used as stand-alone resources for your classroom.
STEMFest 2025
Explore how everyday choices at home can help protect the Ocean through the “Ocean Friendly Homes” theme from STEMFest 2025. These resources includes a virtual STEMFest recording, how to create a solar-powered fan, and a sustainable home worksheet.
World Book Day 2025
Created for World Book Day 2025, this content features a virtual live reading of Am I a Sea Dragon? by the Ocean Conservation Trust, read by special guest Marina the Mermaid. It also includes follow-up activities and a short virtual tour of the NMA, supporting early science learning around animal characteristics and classification for ages 4–6.
Careers Week

Ocean Science Experiments Guide
Dive into the theme of Change and Adapt with a focus on physical and chemical changes in the Ocean. This curriculum-linked guide is packed with engaging classroom activities, supporting teachers to deliver accessible, hands-on lessons that explore marine science concepts and how Ocean life has adapted to these conditions.
