Virtual Field Trips

These links feature wonderful sites that explore places in the world that you may never be able to visit in person. Even if you have been able to visit some of the places in person, you will still enjoy re-living the experience and sharing it with your families through the text, photos, videos and live web cameras on these websites. It is my hope that parents and children will sit down together to explore the world through these virtual field trips, whether or not they homeschool. A few of the field trips were hard to categorize. Rather than start a new category, I added them where I thought they fit best. Please let me know if you find a broken link or if you know of a website that should be added. These links take you away from LDS Homeschooling in California and open in a new window.
