In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, schools and districts nationwide are turning to remote learning. Here are some key resources that teachers and parents will find helpful in teaching science and STEM.

NSTA Daily Do
Teachers and families across the country are facing a new reality of providing opportunities for students to do science through distance and home learning.The Daily Do is one of the ways NSTA is supporting teachers and families with this endeavor. Each weekday, NSTA will share a sensemaking task teachers and families can use to engage their students in authentic, relevant science learning. Each Daily Do has a collection of resources (most free) that you can use at home or in your classroom.
