That your kids are learning at home doesn’t mean you don’t have time to take them on field trips. When you can’t get away, your kids can still travel by taking virtual field trips. We have prepared our list of favorites to help you keep your kids engaged and entertained.
AirPano
AirPano has a variety of tours in China, Portugal, Switzerland and more countries. Children can visit Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge in China, an underwater cave in Indonesia, ski resorts in France, and more destinations around the globe. What makes this site so good is that it offers narrations (解说) of several tours and provides closeups through interactive actions.
Will-O-Crest Farm
This 45-minute tour of Will-O-Crest Farm in New York state walks through every step of work on the farm. It shows how calves are housed, how cow are milked and everything in between. The video is hosted by a narrator with a live instructor (employee) from the farm onsite.
Yellowstone
Yellowstone offers seven virtual tours appropriate for school ages. There’s a lot of written information along with the images, and the tours aren’t in video. However, the information is fascinating, and the photos are wonderful. These tours are a great way for kids to discover unique facts about America.
Slime (粘液) in Space
What happens to slime when it’s in space? That’s the concept behind the Slime in Space virtual field trip. Featuring real astronauts and celebrities (名人), the 15-minute video shows kids how slime and water react in a microgravity environment. Along the way, it answers burning questions like. “Is slime a solid or a liquid?” and “Can you slime a person in space?”.
