Tally ho! This week is National Wonders Week for Nature Cat on PBS Kids. Fred is a house cat that transforms into Nature Cat, "backyard explorer extraordinaire", while his family is away during the day. During this week of all-new episodes, Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy and Hal explore national wonders such as The Grand Canyon, Old Faithful, The Great Salt Lake and Niagara Falls.

Gather up the family and buckle up for a virtual field trip without having to leave your home!

As we enter our third month (fourth for some) in quarantine, we find ourselves looking for more and more creative ways to keep our kids and families engaged. Virtual field trips have gained popularity across classrooms in the past few years, as they do not require permission slips or travel and provide insight into amazing places and exciting journeys. This idea can be adapted to help families embark on their own virtual journeys from the safety of their homes.

Virtual Field Trip Activity
Before you get started on your virtual field trip, print out the Map of the United States. If you don't have access to a printer, you can display the map on a device with electronic annotating capacities. This Map is a support material from the educational resource from the music artist HelloGoodbye: I Wanna See the States.
Optional: This resource serves as a great way to introduce/review the 50 states with your kids.
You can print one map out for the family, or one per participant. You will utilize the map to label the location and color in the state, as you complete each stop of the virtual field trip.

This virtual field trip will take us across the United States as we visit the same stops that Nature Cat and his friends will discover this week. Watch each video, pausing to use the activity/question prompts provided to help generate discussion with your little. You can view each video on its own, before watching the corresponding Nature Cat episode, or you can complete the virtual field trips together as its own activity.
Time to Explore!

Grand Canyon: The theory of how the Grand Canyon was formed is shown in this animation from NOVA, and features rare footage of a phenomenon known as debris flow.
Resource: The Grand Canyon: How It Formed

Old Faithful: Geothermal features, which include geysers, hot springs, steam vents called fumaroles, and boiling mud pots, are found on nearly every continent. Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming contains the world's largest collection: nearly 10,000 such features lie within its 2.25 million acres. In this video segment adapted from ZOOM, a young guide offers viewers a tour of the park and explains how Earth's internal heat fuels geothermal formations. The tour makes it clear why millions of people visit Yellowstone each year to witness the park's explosive displays and colorful deposits.
Resource: A Visit to Yellowstone

Great Salt Lake: Watch this Smithsonian video clip that explores the Great Salt Lake. Covering 1,700 square miles, Utah's Great Salt Lake is the biggest saltwater lake in the western hemisphere.
Resource: What Makes Great Salt Lake So Great?
Discussion Prompts

Share What You Learned: Share through text and/or illustrations what you learned.

Vocabulary Words: As you watch, identify new vocabulary words that you learned.

Venn Diagram: Choose two locations. Draw a Venn Diagram to compare what makes them different and what makes them the same.

Wonders Vacation: If you could visit any of the four locations, which would you want to see and why?

Enjoyed your virtual field trips? Continue the learning and exploration with Nature Cat and PBS LearningMedia using the following Nature Cat resources.

You can visit a different time and place at the Met! Check out their virtual tours.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
This award-winning series of six short videos invites viewers around the world to virtually visit The Met's art and architecture in a fresh, immersive way. Created using spherical 360° technology, it allows viewers to explore some of the Museum's iconic spaces as never before.

Viewed more than 11 million times, this series affords an access and a perspective typically unavailable to the public. Viewers can experience the magic of standing in an empty gallery after-hours, witnessing a bustling space in time-lapse, or floating high above The Met Cloisters for a bird's-eye view. We strung cables, removed protective covers from works of art, and rigged cameras up high, all to allow viewers to explore The Met as never before.

Get a behind-the-scenes look at how we created the videos in a Digital Underground article written by Director/Producer Nina Diamond.

Videos

You may view these videos on YouTube on multiple devices:

On your smartphone: Move your phone up, down, and behind you to see all directions.

On your desktop computer: Use the mouse to scroll in all directions. (Note: For an optimal user experience, use Chrome or Firefox as your browser.)

On Google Cardboard or a VR headset

Be sure to turn up the volume to hear the music, too.

Great Hall

Architect Richard Morris Hunt designed this majestic space in 1902. He never could have imagined that today the Museum's main entry greets more than six million visitors a year. Now you can experience its Neoclassical grandeur in a way no one ever has before.

Come explore not just behind the scenes, but everywhere in 360°. This video lets you soar past the colonnades, up toward the oculus in the ceiling, and cast a look down over the Grand Staircase and balcony. Aren't you curious who creates those colossal flower arrangements when you're still asleep?

The Met Cloisters

Take to the sky to explore the majestic vistas of The Met Cloisters. This branch of the Museum in northern Manhattan's Fort Tryon Park is dedicated to the art, architecture, and gardens of medieval Europe.

Explore 360° views over the city, across the Hudson River, and high above two richly landscaped gardens. Inside, spin around to admire the medieval cloisters that form the core of the historic building, and listen to the resonant chimes from the bell tower, more than 100 feet above ground.

The Temple of Dendur

Immerse yourself in this 360° video capturing dawn to dusk in the Temple of Dendur. Built around 15 B.C. when the Roman Emperor Augustus ruled Egypt, the temple was a 1968 gift from Egypt to the United States in recognition of support given to save its monuments threatened by the Nile.

The temple's setting in The Sackler Wing was designed to approximate the light and surroundings of its original location in Nubia, including a reflecting pool that evokes the Nile.

The Met Breuer

On March 18, 2016, The Metropolitan Museum of Art opened The Met Breuer, its new space was dedicated to modern and contemporary art.

Whether you're a recent or longtime fan of the building's classic modernist design, or have just been struck by its bold form at Madison Avenue and 75th Street-here's your chance to enjoy a 360° perspective on architect Marcel Breuer's landmark 1966 creation. Scan up the jagged facade to the trapezoidal window with clouds above, or hover inside the entrance lobby over the sunken garden courtyard.

After four years, the Museum has now permanently closed its Breuer location. The Frick Collection will take over the building during the upgrade and renovation of its museum space at 1 East 70th Street.

The Charles Engelhard Court

Come explore the crown jewel of The Met's American Wing in spherical 360° video. Float in mid-air among the sculptures, including cheek-to-cheek with the gilded sculpture of Diana on its tall pedestal. Try tipping your view over the upper balcony's edge to witness the crowd below in time-lapse-all using your mouse, track pad, or smartphone. You can even peek at the easels of two artists at work.

Flanked by stunning Tiffany stained-glass windows, The Charles Engelhard Court in The American Wing houses some of the Museum's most iconic sculptures, mosaics, and architectural elements.

Arms and Armor Galleries

Visit The Met's distinguished collection of arms and armor from Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and America. Experience the galleries from above and take a closer look at some of the key objects of sculptural and ornamental beauty-all in 360. This may be the only time you'll ever get to stand in the middle of a parade of armored soldiers on horseback. No matter where you turn-from the flags overhead to the weapons gleaming below-you'll find unprecedented access to these masterpieces of original design and traditional craftsmanship.

Bruce at Home

The Bruce Museum's mission is to promote the understanding and appreciation of Art and Science to enrich the lives of all people. While we will miss seeing you in the galleries, we still plan to engage and interact with you through all of the channels available to us. This means that for the time being the Bruce Museum has gone digital.

Going forward, the digital programs and offerings that serve this mission will look different, but will offer the same commitment to Art and Science as all of the Museum's offerings.

At Home STEAM Activities From the Bruce Museum

The Bruce Museum is closed to the public to help combat the spread of coronavirus in our community and beyond. During this time, Manager of School and Community Programs, Corinne Flax will create weekly STEAM activities for families with children at home.

These weekly activities will focus on basic STEAM concepts. Learners will get the chance to design, test, modify, experiment, hypothesize and much more.

A little about the series, At Home STEAM Activities:

● The series is for children ranging from 1st-5th grade. Each activity can take as little as 30 minutes or as much as an entire afternoon, depending on the interest level of your learners.

● All lessons will start with using a Science Journal. Your learner doesn't need to write in their journal; pictures are a great source of information. The first lesson in the series has a tutorial on how to make a journal.

● Most of the activities need little or no adult supervision, but make your own best judgement.

● All activities come with a list of materials, a step by step instruction list and are compliant with NGSS Learning Expectations. NGSS Learning Expectations can be found at the end of the instructional section.

Most materials are common household items; substitutions will be suggested for items that are less common. Click the lesson icon for the PDF lesson plan.
Digital Weekends with the Bruce
Miss weekend family programs at the Bruce? Digital Weekends with the Bruce are fun, hands-on art and science projects for you and your family! Over the next several weekends, teaching artist Grayson Kennedy and Youth and Family Programs Manager Megan Brown will lead you in an online activity based on exhibitions at the Bruce Museum. Use the linked videos and write-ups to make something fun and creative while you're home.

This week, for our first project, we will explore the artwork of L. A. Ring, whose paintings featured in the exhibition On the Edge of the World: Masterworks by Laurits Andersen Ring from SMK - the National Gallery of Denmark. Enjoy this activity, and feel free to share the creations you and your family make by using the hashtag #BruceMuseum.
