   This is a very informative site.  Busch Gardens and Sea World have
produced an Animal Information Database for school children.  Th edatabase
features current facts and pictures about a variety of land and sea
animals.

    The site includes online Teacher's Guides, which help teach students
in a hands-on manner.  You'll find a number of lesson plans on animal,
environment, and other science topics.  There is also Shamu TV: Sea
World's Video Classroom which brings marine science into the classroom.
They are live forty minute videos which includes interviews with animal
experts, a toll- free number which students can call to have their own
questions answered by experts, and more.

    This is a wonderful site for those teachers who want to bring science
alive.  Children can discover a wealth of information on animals at the
touch of their fingertips.  I was extremely impressed.
