Are you forced to stay home, as perhaps billions of people worldwide amid fears over coronavirus spread? Well, this will not be boring any more, if you really think of making something new and, maybe, do all that you previously wished to do but you did not have time.

SEE gathered for you a lot of suggestions to help you having the most fun and enjoyable times at home.

In the previous report, we started by how to make the home stay beneficial for your kids, but also develop their learning skills and help them never to forget what they have learned in schools or nurseries.

This time, we suggest that you take a virtual field trip at museums.

More than 2,500 museums around the world have made their collections accessible online through Google Arts and Culture; you can also use Google to access virtual tours of national parks in the U.S.

The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in New York City offers online learning materials for science fans of all ages. Their Ology science website provides games and activities for kids and covers a range of science topics, including archaeology, paleontology, astronomy and marine biology. AMNH courses on Khan Academy delve into subjects such as human evolution, earthquakes and volcanoes, the universe, and, of course, dinosaurs. You can also peek behind the scenes on the museum's YouTube channel, or take a tour of the universe in videos created for the Hayden Planetarium.

The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum's Air and Space Anywhere webpage provides virtual tours of the museum, and educational podcasts, games and activities about aircraft and spacecraft. And educators can turn to the museum's K-12 learning resources for STEM lessons, activities and videos on topics such as flight, planetary science, space, and engineering and technology.

All online programs and digital content at the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum are now available for free.
