Stay in your classroom and take a virtual field trip to the UT McDonald Observatory in the Davis Mountains of west Texas!
Our virtual programs are interactive science learning experiences that are an extension of your classroom instruction, led by McDonald Observatory astronomy facilitators. All programs are TEKS aligned and feature engaging experiences such as real-time telescope observations of the Sun, Moon, and Venus, small group or individual student activities, virtual tours of world-class research telescopes, science drawings, and the opportunity to ask questions and interact with the facilitator. We offer many virtual learning programs that are all formative, real-life STEM extensions to your classroom instruction.
