Scholastic News: Reporting from Iraq
"For elementary and middle-school grades, Scholastic News covers the Iraqi conflict with feature stories, but no breaking news. Important sections include an introduction to Hussein (see Iraq vs. the U.S.), and the Iraq articles (created with the help of the encyclopedia folks at Grolier Online). For classroom use, there is a ten-question self-scoring quiz, and a printable scavenger hunt based on the Iraq entry at the online CIA fact book."

Rainforest Topics
"Tropical and temperate rainforests share certain characteristics. For example, most trees flare at the base. Vegetation is dense, tall and very green. Many species exist in both rainforests, although the diversity is greater in the tropical rainforest. Both tropical and temperate rainforests are very lush and wet. In addition to these introductory rainforest pages, five other biomes (communities of plants and animals grouped by climate) are covered: desert, tundra, taiga, temperate and grasslands. Visit them by clicking the small icons at the top of each page."

"Dr. Steven Blythe, of Melbourne, Florida, is a family physician who has made many trips to the rainforest to provide medical help. This educational site ("for my children, and the child in all of us who is awestruck by the wonders of nature!") is a marriage of his two passions: Web design and the rainforest. Highlights include Medicines from the Rainforest, Legacy of the Maya, Threats to Rainforests, Butterfly Gardening and Fun & Games."

Rainforest Action Network: Kids’ Corner
"Tropical rainforests are home to many of the strangest looking and most beautiful, largest and smallest, most dangerous and least frightening, loudest and quietest animals on earth. You’ve probably heard of some of them: jaguars, toucans, parrots, gorillas, and tarantulas all make their homes in tropical rainforests. But have you ever heard of the aye-aye? Or the okapi? This site for elementary-age students is jam packed with information, conservation ideas and calls to action such as "Seven Steps Kids Can Take.""
