With a Virtual Reality viewer and Google Expeditions, students can go on school trips around the world from their classroom. This Helps teachers to guide groups of students through a variety of 360° and 3D images. This allows teachers to be able to discuss important information as the students explore the trip!

Within Google Expeditions you can visit a tour of several different ecosystems. Within these ecosystems you can see the abiotic and biotic organisms and factors that live within each one.
