A great website that has links to information about fish and sea life. This website was chosen because of the wonderful links to research and informational sites. Included are great lessons for teachers and wonderful resources for students. ** Animal Pictures ** [|//http://www.junglewalk.com/photos/Animal-pictures.htm//] Find wonderful real-life pictures of the fish that you are researching. I chose this site because of the real-life photographs. Students can download the pictures and embed them in their reports. ** Fish FAQ ** //[]// Northwest fisheries science center developed this great website with great "essential" questions that can be used to facilitate your project. The site was chosen because I felt that the questions that are covered would be great to use with the students when trying to generate their "essential" question before their report. ** Yahoo!Kids ** http://kids.yahoo.com/ [] Fun and Fishy facts to explore. Yahoo Kids! was chosen because it has great games, music, videos and access to safe websites. This website is easy to navigate and has a lot to offer to students researching a topic. ** SeaWorld ** [] Explore sea animals, play games, and listen to real sea-life sounds. This is a great site for researching fish. The Animal info books have information about all kinds of sea life. There is also access to an Animal Sound library that I felt would benefit the students when they use Voice-Thread. for their projects. ** Shedd Aquarium ** [] Explore by exhibit or animal. Play interactive games. I chose the Shedd website because I felt that the students would benefit by becoming familiar with the aquarium online. They will be visiting as a grade after they complete their research projects. ** Kidsclick! ** [|http://kidsclick.org] Web-search for kids by librarians at Kent State University.
