Zoos can play an important role in teaching students all sorts of things about animals. From behaviour, to endangered species, to wildlife and habitat conservation, there’s plenty of learning (and excitement!) to be had on a trip to the zoo. Now, these fun-filled field trips have also been adapted to virtual learning environments. For a new twist on a classic school field trip, use these virtual zoo programs to take students on wild journeys through the animal kingdom—all from the comfort of the classroom!
