If you have been following my blog you know by now that field trips are our ‘thing’.  We love field trips and aim for one a week (at minimum).  Sometimes places we want to visit are just too far away (especially living on an island…though that is soon changing).  We have recently dabbled a bit into VIRTUAL FIELD TRIPS. 
 
Since we are studying space, I decided to look into some virtual space trips.
 
I found several sites that offer you the space travel ‘experience’.
 
One site offered FREE DVDs of Virtual Trip to the Moon and Journey to the Stars.  In an attempt to not overwhelm them with Homeschoolers requests for FREE DVDs, he has sent me a large number to give my readers.  I have only a few Field Trip to the Moon DVDS, but LOTS of the Journey to the Stars DVDs.
However – we are moving in a few short weeks…therefore…I will not be offering to mail these out until April. 
I will post information on how to get your copy at that point….so be sure to follow me (if you don’t already) so that you can get the information on how to request the DVD, at that time I will give you the link to the learning guides that go with them.
It will be FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE!
 
Other virtual trips we have found:

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory
 
Space Wander

H.R. MacMillan Space Centre – this one is at a cost, held via Skype; would be best for a group.
 
Now I’d love you to link up your field trips…virtual or otherwise!
