Although this is a great solution, there are concerns about not fulfilling the benefits of an in-person class. One concern is how the coronavirus will affect environmental classes, especially for young children. Is it still possible to somehow incorporate learning about nature while everything is online or is it impossible?

No, the coronavirus will not make learning outside impossible

Nature is an important part of everyone’s life. Vitamin B is provided by the sun, being outside encourages outside, and relieves stress. After COVID-19 has caused countries to go into quarantine, being outside has become limited. This is especially critical for young children and students focused on environmental studies and naturals sciences. However, there are ways to continue outdoor learning.
