As educators, we’re always looking for ways to bring learning to life—especially in ways that are meaningful, accessible, and aligned to standards. This fall, Discovery Education is offering a one-of-a-kind lineup of Virtual Field Trips that do just that. These experiences don’t just take students to places they might never visit—they also introduce them to real-world careers happening right in their own backyards.
A Seaon of Discovery: Whats New
Starting September 17, five brand-new Virtual Field Trips will premiere, each accompanied by educator guides packed with hands-on activities. These experiences are designed to spark curiosity, deepen engagement, and connect classroom learning to real-world applications. All Virtual Field Trips are available on-demand via Discovery Education Experience, making it easy to integrate them into your fall curriculum.
Why It Matters
- Standards-Aligned: Each trip is built to support curriculum goals across grade bands.
- Career-Relevant: Students meet professionals in STEM, manufacturing, conservation, and more.
- Locally Filmed, Globally Inspiring: These trips highlight industries and ecosystems across the U.S., helping students see the relevance of learning in their own communities.
