E-Connections

Electronic Field Trips

 

Grades: K-12 | Length: 45 minutes | Program Cost: $190.00

Let Liberty Science Center’s dynamic instructors become your partners in an exploration of exciting science concepts -- from the convenience of your own facility. Electronic Field Trips (EFTs) are interactive lessons delivered directly to your students at school via videoconferencing. They are broadcast live from our exhibition floors or our new laboratory setting in the Jennifer A. Chalsty Center for Science Learning and Teaching.

Our Science Educators will help your students explore a range of dynamic cross-curricular themes. EFTs come with classroom curriculum aligned with the National Science Education Standards, New Jersey Core Curriculum Science Content Standards and New York Learning Standards for Math, Science and Technology. Professional development on the use of videoconferencing technology or introduction to EFTs is available for teachers and administrators.

For more information or to sign up for an Electronic Field Trip, contact Reservations at 201.451.0006, Ext. 382 or EFT(at)lsc.org.

E-Connections are science explorations based on specific topics and resources unique to Liberty Science Center. Choose the topic that fits your curriculum and we’ll work closely with you to develop a dynamic program that fits your needs. Be sure to check our website often -- we’re developing new topics all the time!
