Summary
Through going on this virtual field trip the students will get a hands-on experience with outer space; one that they would not be able to get otherwise. These videos and websites allow the students to explore and pretend that they are the astronauts lost in space. This virtual field trip gives the students a fun and interesting way to learn about the solar system and the planets that make up our solar system rather than just reading about it from a chapter in a text book. This gives the students the opportunity to investigate and explore rather than just read and memorize. The interactive websites let the students manipulate the rotation of the planets and learn information about the rotation that they would not necessarily learn otherwise. This field trip gives students a visual representation of the solar system and the planets and their properties.
