Each Electronic Field Trip requires
the time and effort of many people devoted to the
subject of each trip to make it a success. The EFT
"Turn Over A New Leaf" came
to fruition through the sweat and tears and stories
and research provided by the following groups. Visit
their individual websites for more information about
each organization.

The
Electronic Field Trips PROGRAM at

learning opportunities for K-12 students for more
than nine years taking students to experience
our national treasures and visit sites including

of National History; Space Center Houston &
NASA; the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum;
remote dinosaur digs; The Newseum; and Caribbean
mangrove ecosystems.
The learning experiences span the disciplines:
science, mathematics, history and social studies.

excited and interested in the subject matter that
you teach. Each field trip corresponds with national
teaching standards, making these activities the
perfect fit for your curriculum.
