This curriculum is designed to mimic a typical field trip-based curriculum. The activities have been created so that each "Pre-Visit Activity" forms the basis for the "Online 'Virtual Visit' Activity." A "Post-Visit Activity" then reinforces and wraps-up the subject matter. The following activities are divided into two grade level groups. Each curriculum features ready-to-play online activities and ready-to-print activities and lesson plans. Click the activity names in the curriculum tables to view a description of the selected activity and download materials or launch the activity.
