-The Great Plant Escape, created by the University of Illinois Extension, teaches upper elementary students about basic botany concepts. Students join a carrot and pea pod named Bud and Sprout as they help Detective LeFleur solve any of six plant-related mysteries. Students first read through a case to learn basic facts about the topic; they then complete a variety of interactive activities to show their understanding of the concepts involved. Some pen-and-paper activities also are included. All content is available in Spanish, and an extensive Teacher's Guide is provided to assist with pre-activity questioning and extension activities. Students can complete each case in 25-40 minutes.

-The Pizza Explorer from Purdue University's Institute of Food Technologists was created to teach students about food science and the chemistry of food components through hands-on interactive activities. Students explore information about eight common ingredients of pizza to learn about each food's history, chemistry, processing, nutritional composition, and more. Each section also includes a quiz, game, and "hot topics" about that ingredient.

-The field trips already on the site are free, you can purchase a tool to create your own trips. Description: Windows on the World -- one of 39 virtual field trips already at the Tramline site -- provides a framework for a study of other countries and cultures from a personal perspective, while incorporating such subject areas as reading, writing, math, geography, history, economics, and more. The tour utilizes a wide variety of online resources, including maps, photos, interactive activities, and audio and video clips. The teacher resource page provides additional activities that can be used to support the virtual field trip experience.
