These virtual fieldtrips will involve 8-10 students, equipped with computers and video cameras, traveling to a local scientific facility and conducting a live webcast tour for their classmates back at school. Viewing the webcast on a projector, the students in the classroom will have the opportunity to interact with the traveling group, ask questions of any expert scientist, view equipment and processes, and even assist in data and sample collection. Seven different field trips will cover topics including geology, astronomy, hydroelectric power and water quality, each field trip employing a different group of students.
