Virtual Field Trips & Fun Podcasts

There are so many cool things out there that

scientists have discovered and you do not

have to miss out just because you are staying

close to where you live. Here are several

Virtual Field trips for you to take online.

Volcanos

We have so many volcanos here in the

Pacific Northwest and down the west coast.

Learn about them here: https://

volcanoes.usgs.gov/index.html

Mars

Here you can take a tour of Mars! NASA’s

curiosity rover had recorded the surface of

this incredible planet. Go take a look here:

These are great for when you go on a

long drive, while home, or if you do not

want to read on a screen (or just

because podcasts are awesome!). Here

are a few that you can try. You can find

all of these on your phone podcast app,

tablet, and online.

We have not listened to every episode of all

these podcasts. There could be material you

deem inappropriate for your kids depending

on their age or experiences — and, the

definition of inappropriate varies with every

family. This list is to provide your family with

the first step so that you may find podcasts

that work well for your family.
