Access Prior Knowledge / Partner Pair and Share:
Have you ever visited an aquarium, a museum, or a zoo? Have you gone to view a live show, seen a professional sporting event, or taken a trip to a big city or a farm? Did you travel to see a historical building, park, or national landmark? One of my most favorite trips to make each fall is to an apple orchard. My family and I like to visit different orchards each autumn to pick apples and pumpkins, to take hay rides, and to look at the beautiful colors of leaves on the trees. Now think about some of the places you have visited on a field trip with your school, family, or friends. Try to remember what you saw while you were there. Turn to your partner and share your experience. Tell what you saw, how you prepared to take the trip, and what safety precautions you took. Then let your partner tell you about his or her field trip.
What do you need to do to be safe when you visit places in the real world?

Virtual Field Trip:

Sometimes the places we would like to visit in person are just too far away. The internet makes it possible for us to visit places without leaving home. All you need to do is know or search for the website address of a place you'd like to visit after you have gotten help from a trusted adult.
Notice that you are able to view distant places without ever leaving your home or the classroom by taking a virtual field trip using the internet.
Were you able to use all of your senses to interact with the people, animals, or things while you were on your virtual field trip?
Could you smell anything? Could you touch anything?

Let's role play a few times with a partner. One person is to pretend to be the parent or adult. The other student is to be the child.
Example:
Sample Student, "Mrs. Spalt, I would like to visit the penguins at Seaworld. Would you please help me find a website?"
Mrs. Spalt, "Sure, Sample Student. Open your web browser, type in <Penguins + Seaworld>, and let me help you select an appropriate website."
