Project SEE (Science and Environmental Education) is a Concord School District science enrichment program founded in 1970. Project SEE delivers classroom and field trip programming to complement the district's elementary science curriculum.
Project SEE's goals are to 1) provide Concord students with concrete, hands-on science experiences, 2) develop scientific and environmental awareness, and 3) inspire good citizens with strong problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
The Project SEE team leads grade-level field trips for kindergarten to grade 6, both at the Project SEE Learning Center at White Farm and at locations around Concord. These field trips focus on outdoor and applied science experiences, building upon science content taught by teachers and tying to the Next Generation Science Standards. Our science educators also deliver regular lessons in all of our grade 1-5 classrooms, focusing on the hands-on practice of science skills.
You are welcome to visit White Farm to explore the outdoors for yourself. Come hike, ski, bird-watch, or pull weeds in the garden!
White Farm is located at 150 Clinton Street in Concord.

Concord 2nd grades visited the Merrimack River Conservation Area with Project SEE in October. Students explored pond, river, meadow, and forest habitats to learn about what animals and plants might live in each.

Fifth graders studied the forest ecosystems at Sewalls Falls and the Broken Ground trails. Students identified living and nonliving components, then created models showing how all the parts are connected.

On our Engaging in Science web page, you'll find many science videos created by the Project SEE team during the pandemic, with related hands-on activities you can do at school or at home.
Teachers and families can also find links to online science resources, ideas for outdoor exploration, and citizen science opportunities.
