I found a great site that lists lots of virtual field trips. I didn’t know that there was one site that had so many of these!  It looks like a lot of fun.  They have everything from geysers, volcanoes, how products are made, and lots more.  I emailed this site to my children to look at. Let me know what you think….  http://www.googolpower.com/content/free-learning-resources/virtual-field-trips

High gas prices have you strapped? Don’t feel like you can take your family to any fun places? Why not try some virtual field trips for fun. Nothing is the same as being there, but you can at least see some new things you have never seen before.

Here’s an interesting virtual field trip that you can take that shows you how Cape Cod potato chips are made. http://www.capecodchips.com/visitors/factorytour.aspx

I’m back with even more fun Internet field trips that you can use to enhance your homeschool learning.

Someone sent me this Virtual Owl Pellet Dissection. It’s pretty cool!  You take apart an owl pellet and then it tells you the names of the bones and where it fits for reconstruction. This is a lot better than me trying to figure out what part it is and where it fits.  I’m going to email this link to my children and tell them they better do this or I’ll get some REAL owl pellets instead! )  http://www.kidwings.com/owlpellets/index.htm#

Here’s another great virtual tour. You’ll need to click on Multimedia at the top right to see all the pictures and videos. I learned a ton just by browsing for a few minutes. I’m looking forward to showing this to my kids. I didn’t realize how involved this process was or how beautiful the land is there.

I just found this cool online tour of the Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream Factory.

This first week of summer always makes me think of ice cream. Watching this virtual tour will definitely make you want some ice cream. You can even look up where you can find a Ben and Jerry’s Scoop Shop or how to take a real tour at the end of this video.
