Virtual Field Trip
Let’s take a virtual field trip to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History!
Field trips are a great way to expose students to different cultures and history. And while places like zoos, museums and aquariums are closed in an effort to maintain social distancing, that does not mean the learning adventures have to stop. For this activity, we encourage you and your family to take a virtual field trip to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. No permission slips required!
Visit the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History on Google Arts & Culture here. Once on the page, click the small yellow person icon on the right to “step into the museum.”
