Offered All Year: If you visited a farm in 1900, chances are you would find a few chickens, horses, and possibly even sheep in the barnyard. As the days get shorter and the leaves turn colors, the animals and the farmers get ready for winter. Come and visit our animals virtually, and learn how the farmer makes sure the animals’ basic needs are met and how the animals adapt to the seasons. Students will understand that animals have important jobs on the farm and learn how members of the farm family, including children, share the work of caring for animals. Next, engage in some experiments at home on in the classroom, to discover cool things that eggs can do. (Besides being delicious, of course!)
Virtual field trips feature fun hands-on activities designed to get your students engaged. Each program includes:
