E-Trails

Electronic Field Trips

Grades: K-12 | Length: Three 45-minute sessions | Program Cost: $570.00

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-Trails invite students to explore themes in-depth, gathering information to complete an intriguing design challenge. Create your own E-Trail by selecting three E-Connection topics related to your theme. Then we’ll suggest a challenge for your students that complements your selection. Have students write, draw or build to complete their challenge. You decide. They can even present their completed challenges to us!

Other program options: E-Connections, Explore-A-Story
