Fantastic Fossils: Virtual Field Trip where students learn what fossils are and how they are formed. Students will be engaged through virtual interactions with trivia questions, polls, and virtual specimens. A hands-on component of creating a fossil imprint with things from the kitchen concludes the experience.

Planetarium: Virtual Field Trip where students will learn about the night sky. They will learn how to navigate the sky through stars and constellations. Students will be asked trivia questions, polls, and have many opportunities for asking questions with the Museum's Astronomer.

Artsmart: Virtual Field Trip where students will discover color, shapes, lines and textures through observation, conversation, and hands on activities. Artsmart connects the museum works to their lives at home and in school by comparing the art to their world around them.

My Community: Virtual Field Trip where students learn how to understand what a community is through artworks of The Newark Museum of Art. Students will learn about people who make our community, buildings and transportation, and compare their surroundings with the subjects in the artwork. A hands-on component will connect their learning to the theme.
