Virtual Hangouts and Field Trips
If you're interested in bringing your class on a virtual field trip, check out Exploring By The Seat Of Your Pants (free registration required). The primary goal of this site is "to knockdown classroom walls and take students anywhere in the world, never having to leave their desks." The site connects students and teachers with guest speaker lessons and virtual field trips from around the globe.
After signing up, feel free to search through their hangouts. There are many great science topics on there! If you would like to participate in a hangout, please let me know how I can support you.
