Virtual Field Trips: Pivoting Cross-Curricular Experiential Learning to an Online Platform
McPherson, Heather; Frank, Gregory; Pearce, Rebecca; Hoffman, Ernest
Science Teacher, v88 n6 p45-51 Jul-Aug 2021
In this article, the authors share a unique science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) online field trip structure developed for high school students. The ninth-, tenth-, and eleventh-grade students who participated in the virtual field trips were from multiple high schools. This article focuses on two virtual trips that the authors developed. Using the Zoom platform, students participated in a synchronous field trip to a space engineering and satellite production company that subcontracts with NASA, and a 3D printing operation that produces personal protective equipment (PPE) for essential medical personnel during COVID-19.
