I was recently reading the January/February 2021 issue of "The Science Teacher" a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. In this issue, I read the section "Current Science Classroom" written by Chris Anderson. Chris wrote an article entitled "Field Trips Last a Lifetime."

Nothing can replace the authenticity and impact of an in-person field experience for kids, however, until the public health and school funding battles are won it's up to us to get creative and bring the world to our students.
