Hi! It’s Friday, January 29, 2009 and time for a Virtual Field Trip at ClickSchooling!
Recommended Website:
Necco: Sweethearts Factory Tour
Age Range: 5-105 (Non-readers will need assistance.)
Valentine’s Day will be here before you know it. I’ve been seeing the boxed “Sweethearts” candies with the tiny valentine messages printed on them in the grocery store check-out line. I thought it might be fun to learn how they are made.
At the Necco Candy website you can take a free virtual tour (through photographs and text) to see how “Sweethearts” are manufactured. Not only that, you can take a tour to see how Necco Wafers and Haviland Thin Mints are made as well!
When you get to the site, you’ll see a menu of all three tours. Click on the tour of interest and a new screen opens where you can follow the virtual tour.
Once you’ve take the tours, click on “Fun and Learning” on the menu to access research for school projects and reports, games, quizzes, and recipes.
