To help with the transition from in-person to virtual at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Scientist in Every Florida School program developed a suite of digital, on-demand K-12 resources that teachers can easily deploy using their virtual teaching platform of choice.
Each of the resources gathered are organized by topic.
Within a topic, teachers can find a variety of resources including:
- Short educational videos
- Writing prompts
- Virtual field trips
- Supplemental reading materials
- Hands-on activities
- A weekly live Q & A with a scientist on the given topic with a date and time posted. The live events can also be viewed at a later time via YouTube.
The idea is that teachers can pick and choose and grab elements from different topics, as well as reach out to the SEFS team to curate and tailor new topic requests.

Select presentations also include virtual tours of museums, research vessels and laboratories. SEFS also provides supplemental resources such as readings, writing prompts, and activities for select topics.
