Kelp Cam
"This live image from the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Kelp Forest exhibit is updated every three minutes. The sunlight streaming in the open roof helps the kelp grow, and changes the look of the tank throughout the day. Natural currents are simulated by pumps pushing more than four thousand gallons of seawater a minute through jets. In addition, a special wave machine creates the natural-looking sway of the kelp. Like the wild kelp forests, the kelp grows in spring, and dies back in winter. (P.S.T.)"

Keiko Cam
"Keiko is the killer whale that rose to fame as the star of the Free Willy movies. In January, 1996, Keiko was moved by United Parcel Post to the Oregon Coast Aquarium from his tank in Mexico City. Keiko’s health had started to deteriorate because in Mexico his pool was too small and the water too warm. Since his arrival in his new tank, Keiko has gained 2000 pounds. It is hoped that one day Keiko will be released to the wild. (P.S.T.)"

How Stuff Works: Earthquakes
"We only hear about earthquakes in the news every once in a while, but they are actually an everyday occurrence on our planet. According to the United States Geological Survey, more than three million earthquakes occur every year. That’s about 8,000 a day, or one every 11 seconds!How Stuff Works explains the science of earthquakes in their ten-page site for middle and high school students. Look in the Lots More Information page for links to additional How Stuff Works articles on seismographs and building quake-proof structures."

Glaciers and the Glacial Age
"Glaciers are large masses of snow, crystallized ice and rock debris that accumulate in great quantities and begin to flow outwards and downwards under the pressure of their own weight. Glaciers form when yearly snowfall in a region far exceeds the amount of snow and ice that melts in a given summer. This University of Vermont site briefly explains the physical effects of glaciers, with particular emphasis on how Vermont was shaped by the ice ages."

Glacier
"Antarctica is the coldest, highest, driest, windiest place on Earth! Are you wearing enough warm clothes to be here? We hope so, because here we go! In addition to the clearly written glacier pages (which you’ll find under Ice), there are sections on Antarctica’s Weather and Oceans. Teachers interested in getting out of the classroom, are invited to join the 2002/2003 Teachers Experiencing the Antarctica (TEA) program. If that sounds a bit too adventurous, try the Glacier classroom curriculum."

Fossils & Fossil Collecting
"Fossil collecting is a brilliant hobby for kids and adults -- for a start you are collecting things which are millions of years old. You can’t collect dinosaurs very easily - but you can collect fossils of creatures which lived at the same time as the dinosaurs. This English site is a great introduction to fossil hunting, no matter where you live. Highlights are the sections that explain What is a Fossil?, How Fossils were Made, How to Collect Fossils, Fossil Care and Fossil Safety. The authors welcome photos of fossils you’ve found and will post answers to readers’ questions."
