Virtual Field Trips for Use in Classroom

How Everyday Things are Made- This is a virtual website where the user can see how things are manufactured - planes, motorcycles, clothes, and even jelly beans.  It is run by Stanford University:

The one that is of particular interest to me is the "How Everyday Things are Made".  It is extremely interesting to see and understand how certain products are manufactured.

Enjoy,
