You can incorporate almost any topic in your library skills currirulum if
you teach the kids to evaluate web sites on that topic.  Depending on
their proficiency in searching (you can teach that too) you could give
them addresses and compare and contrast sites and evaluate for their use,
or you could have them brainstorm keywords on the topic, and create
Boolean searches and then let'm loose.  I've done that using Excite and
alta vista (and compared results) as well as a broad topic search on
Yahoo and asking a specific question in Ask Jeeves for kids (ajkids.com).
Loking for current articles in marine science would work too, whether you
have Readers' Guide or an electronic index.
