Caretakers searching for an educational way to entertain young people should look no further than this virtual field trip series from the media outlet Great Lakes Now. Though the experience is designed for middle school students, children (and adults) of all ages may enjoy the content. Three embedded videos welcome viewers to venture through sand dunes, lily pad lakes, marshes, and more, encountering plenty of animals, plants, and people along the way. The virtual field trip helps participants learn key conservation priorities in a fun and accessible format, with a focus on coastal wetlands, algal blooms, and lake sturgeon. In total, readers will need to allow 15 minutes to complete the 3-part tour. Those yearning for more content at the conclusion should not fret. Additional lesson plans and materials are available on the Education tab. Plus, several other Great Lakes-based educational institutions are linked on the right hand panel.
