Free literacy resources available from Ocean Generation
Welcome to Ocean Generation! We are an Ocean literacy charity on a mission to translate complex Ocean science into engaging, practical actions. The Ocean is our planet’s ultimate life support system—it provides every second breath we take, captures 30% of human-made carbon emissions, and regulates our climate. Educating young people about its vital role has never been more critical.
To make Ocean education accessible to all, we created Ocean Academy, a free, UNESCO-endorsed programme for ages 5 to 18. We know that teachers work hard enough and that the school curriculum is already packed. That is why all our materials are fully curriculum-aligned across every subject whether you teach maths, art, history, English, or geography (and more!). Our resources deliver your required learning outcomes while inspiring students about the Ocean.
Our Resource Hub is FREE and gives you everything you need to bring marine science to life without adding to your workload:
- Assemblies & Workshop Resources: Fully prepped sessions for whole schools or classroom workshops.
- Presentations & Facilitator Notes: Ready to go slides paired with step-by-step delivery guidance.
- Teacher Cheat Sheets: Quick-reference guides providing all the extra context and background knowledge for you to confidently deliver.
- Activities & Worksheets: Engaging, hands-on activities designed to easily scaffold to break it down or take it further with pupils.
- Extra Videos: Stunning videos to help bring the Ocean straight into your classroom.
No matter the subject, there is always a way to link your lessons to the Ocean. Explore our Resource Hub today and discover how easy, relevant, and impactful Ocean education can be!
