Education Resources

This page provides a convenient interface to all of the educational resources developed by MRSECs across the nation. Using this interface, teachers and other educators can access lesson plans, experiments and other resources for teaching and exploring science with K-12 students, undergraduates and members of the community. We even offer modules for teacher training programs. Most of our materials are in written form; however, some of the MRSECs have lending libraries of pre-packaged experiments. We encourage you to explore our many exciting modules which explore a wide variety of different scientific topics. Check back often as new modules are being continually developed.
