Virtual Tours and Live Streams

You might look at and enjoy these as a family! You could also use one of these as inspiration for more reading/research (e.g. can you find an EPIC reading book connected to the Northern Lights to read together?), or as inspiration for some writing.

• Northern Lights Livestream - You can "rewind" this a few hours to look at the night sky and watch the Northern Lights. Or you might be lucky enough to tune in and see the aurora live!

• Smithsonian Museum of Natural History virtual tour - This works on phones and tablets, as well as laptops/desktops. There are some very cool exhibits to explore. Use the four squares icon to zoom around the museum and find something that interests you, or tap on the arrows to explore at a slower pace. It's worth it!

• San Diego Zoo for Kids - There are live cams on some of the animals at the zoo, but also some great activity ideas and information about different animals.

• Monterey Bay Aquarium - There are live cams that you can watch (also take a look at their YouTube channel), as well as interesting animal stories/information to explore with adult support.

• Legoland virtual tour - Perfect for a bit of inspiration for what to make with your Lego! Be warned: an adult will need to find an interesting part of the tour to look at, as it's a bit tricky to navigate in the beginning. The key is to go to the menu (click on the three lines at the top of the tour) and choose an interesting part of the park to explore. Atlantis was a good place to go explore. Works on devices.
