Great Bay Estuary: Home

This guide was created for the 4th grade Great Bay Estuary Project.

Welcome to the 4th grade Great Bay Estuary Project

Why have humans chosen to settle along the Great Bay Estuary and how can we protect and preserve it for future generations?

Over the next few weeks, you will work with your teammates to explore the many reasons that humans have settled along the Great Bay Estuary. This project will require you to collaborate, research, and reach out to community members as you focus using the information you have gathered to create a final product that will inform the community of the importance of preserving and protecting the Great Bay Estuary.

This research guide will help you find resources to help with you with your project. Use this guide to view the videos, read the articles, and find helpful links for your research.
