Virtual Fieldtrips to the Continents

Room 221 third graders wish they could travel on the Magic School Bus to all the continents! That would be a great example of experiential learning. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be in our budget, so we are settling for virtual field trips...

This afternoon we traveled all the way to the computer lab! While there, we were able to visit Europe, Australia, North America, South America and more! Room 221 scholars looked for specific information about each continent to which they traveled:

*2 countries
*2 bodies of water
*landmarks
*landforms
*products
*other interesting facts

Ask your third grader to share 2 facts they learned today! Click here to see some of the field trips. Scroll down to third grade and you can choose your continent!
