No matter where you live in Manitoba (and beyond), the Manitoba Museum can connect with your students via our new slate of Virtual Field Trips. Explore the history of Winnipeg, the science of the night sky, the diversity of Manitoba’s plants and animals, or the stories of the fur trade, all from the ease of your classroom, or the comfort of your home.
Virtual Field Trips offer your class, group, students, or family the opportunity to visit the Manitoba Museum live online, or participate in an interactive presentation with our expert Learning Facilitators and Science Communicators. These new online programs engage students in different ways – through polls and chats, with up-close examinations of real Museum artifacts, specimens and exhibitions, or through live streamed tours in the Museum Galleries or of the Planetarium’s night sky.
Teachers are provided with pre-presentation resources to prepare their students for their experience and activate their learning, such as pre-recorded video content, articles, and/or primary source reading materials. They are also provided with post-presentation resources to consolidate their learning after the program through activity sheets and in-class project ideas.
With a new Virtual Field Trip suitable for every grade level, the Manitoba Museum is sure to engage your students in exciting new learning!
