Explore what resources INL has to offer through various flipbooks, available in English and Spanish, along with some links to useful resources for educators, students and families.

As students, teachers and parents continue to learn at home, INL’s K-12 Education Program is dedicated to supporting these efforts. A team including 13 dedicated professional educators have been designing and testing lessons that can be used for remote learning. Each new activity is hands-on, aligned with curriculum standards, uses only items commonly found around the house, and is tailored for a specific grade range. Scroll through our “Learning at Home” library to download these lessons.
