Nature Online provides educational materials and interactive science activities. Learners can access and use the educational activities without creating an account, signing in, or providing contact information.
Nature Online does not require learners to provide their name, email address, age, phone number, mailing address, or other contact information in order to use the educational activities.
Some activities optionally allow a learner to enter a name and class or group name in order to generate a report for a teacher or parent. Entering this information is not required to use the activity.
Any name or class information entered for this purpose is processed locally in the learner's browser and is not transmitted to or stored on Nature Online's servers.
Some interactive activities record information about responses, scores, or completion results for educational and statistical analysis.
These results are not associated with the learner's name, class, email address, account, or other identifying information. Nature Online cannot determine which individual learner submitted a particular result.
These results are used to understand how learners interact with the educational materials, identify activities that may be too easy or too difficult, detect technical or educational problems, and improve the lessons.
Learners do not need to sign in to use Nature Online's educational activities.
Nature Online also provides a separate sign-in area intended for teachers, parents, and other adults age 18 or older. This area may provide access to educational statistics and other features intended for adults.
The adult-only area may use Google authentication. This authentication is not required for learners to access or complete educational activities.
