With schools and most non-essential services closed due to the circuit breaker measures, many households are going digital as they learn and work from home. We've prepared a virtual care package where you can access online resources on earth science, and we've included apps for children who are above four years of age to spark their curiosity about our natural environment.

Visit the ArtScience Museum in Singapore, tour the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C, listen to podcasts on geology and other science topics, or even visualise what it would be like if Singapore were to be submerged underwater. Whether you're a student, a parent, an educator, or someone who is interested in earth science, these online resources will help you explore Earth from the comfort of your home.
