Project SEE / White Farm
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.

Explorations with Project SEE
Shadow puppets
In April, our first grades visited "Camp SEE" to learn about light and sound energy in a camping setting. Students designed tents for pets that would block out the light, designed sound signals to communicate to friends about animals in the camp, and did silent sound observations outdoors.
Sit and listen: What can you hear in the world around you?
Concord 4th grades recently finished their Energizing Everything field trips. Students learned experimented with electrical circuits and different types of renewable energy such as solar, hydro, and wind power.
Using moving water to make electricity.
How can we generate the most electricity using wind?
