>  Endangered Species/Study Web

>  Categorized by approximate grade level and rated for visual
>  content, the Study Web list of links related to endangered
>  species is an excellent research tool for students and
>  teachers who are involved in ecology and conservation.
>
>  Study Web/Endangered Species:
>  http://www.studyweb.com/animals/endanger.htm
>
>  The page links to dozens of sites from around the world, so
>  it's easy to spend a great deal of time here. One approach
>  to an internet-based lesson for kids would be to create a
>  "scavenger hunt" where student teams can select from questions
>  and activities that can be accomplished by visiting the links
>  available at this site. Don't force each team to do everyting
>  on the list (the crucial site might be unavailable at that
>  moment) but allow them to pick (for instance) five out of ten.
>  Also, you might want to ensure that they keep a log of the URLs
>  they visited for each task.
>
>  sample questions and activities:
>
>  - Name an endangered member of the cat family.
>  - Sign a guestbook at one of the websites (what did you write?)
>  - Find an animal-related career at the Ark Animal Tracks site.
>  - Print out a picture of a bird.
>  - Name two animals who still roam free in Africa.
>  - Find out whether the staff at the Phoenix Zoo would encourage
>  your to keep a  baby bird if you found one?
>

> This site is listed on the studyweb site with a 5 rating. It gives info
> about endagered animals around the world, stats, location map etc.
