VIRTUAL FIELD TRIPS

  • Boston Children’s Museum. Get ready to play as the Boston Children’s Museum shows and tells children about its features through virtual tours of all its floors. Check out exhibits like Explore-a-Saurus to observe fossil evidence and formulate theories of what dinosaurs looked like and how they behaved.
  • Volcanoes. The U.S. Geological Survey monitors 169 potentially active volcanoes and provides an interactive map allowing visitors to find out about any of them.
  • The National Aquarium. Explore scenes through the aquarium’s webcam, from alligators and sea turtles to ecosystems like the Amazon River and Channel Islands.
  • San Diego Zoo. The Zoo Kids webcams let children zoom in on their favorite animals, from apes to hippos and polar bears. Kids Corner videos introduce young viewers to topics like how camouflage works and why meat-eating animals are misunderstood.
  • Recycling Exposed. Ever wonder what happens to the plastic and glass tossed into a recycling bin? Republic Services has a video tour of its recycling center that shows how sophisticated equipment works to sort, pack and ship recyclable materials.
  • Slime in Space. Nickelodeon partnered with NASA astronauts at the International Space Station on a 15-minute virtual field trip that takes visitors 250 miles above the earth to see how slime and water react in a microgravity environment. Tucked into the fun-filled experience are science and physics lessons – and there’s a bit of a mess involved, too.
  • Cracking Up. Kids can learn what’s involved in modern-day egg farming on Virtual Egg Farm Field Trips, a partnership between the American Egg Board and Discovery Education. Farmers share their sustainable practices, how robots work on egg farms and what keeps their generations-old operations going.

Parents,

When using links to websites posted on this page in school, I keep a very close eye on students’ computers. If you choose to let your students use these websites at home, I suggest you do the same. I did not create and do not manage the websites that are listed here as resources. While I do check on these websites periodically, the internet is ever-changing and I always recommend practicing strong parental guidance whenever children are using the internet.
