A Field Trip Across the Milky Way
Students in Mrs. Bouffard's grade 5 science classes had a uniques experience. They got to take a virtual field trip through our solar system and across the Milky Way.
Using our VR/AR kit generously supplied by BEST and the PTO, students put on the Google goggles and using Google Expeditions were led on a virtual field trip to the Sun, the inner and outer planets, Pluto, the Asteroid Belt, the Kuiper Belt, and the Oort Cloud. It was spectacular!
Questions arose and visuals were oh-ed and ah-ed! We even wondered about the Asteroid Belt and the possibility of a "fifth" missing rocky planet!
Technology Essential Questions:
Are there technological solutions or enhancements to supplement what is being taught?
Why is exploration an important part of learning?
How can a virtual reality experience motivate students and inspire active participation?
How does this digital tool help improve collaboration and/or communication?
