Monarch Watch
"Monarch Watch is a cooperative study of the monarch’s fall migration to promote science education in primary and secondary schools. Last fall more than 40,000 students in thirty-nine states and three Canadian provinces tagged and studied more than 49,000 Monarchs. In addition to information on joining the Watch, you’ll find lots to learn about the monarch, and many ideas for classroom projects. <!--"

Milk Jug Bird Feeder
"The first step for many birders is hanging a bird feeder near a convenient viewing window. This simple milk jug feeder with an interior perch can be made from a one gallon milk jug and a wooden stick. It is an excellent project for either home or classroom. And at the very bottom of the page, there is a link to instructions on making a different kind of bird feeder from jar covers. Look for the link that says ""Recycle Jar Covers and Cans into Suet Feeders."""

Los Angeles Zoo: Zoo Animals
"This month’s featured resident is Savannah, a baby maned wolf being raised in the zoo nursery with Elsa, a yellow Labrador retriever. When Savannah’s mother rejected her, the zookeepers were concerned that the hand-raised wolf might imprint on humans, and never learn to socialize as a dog. So Elsa, on loan from Guide Dogs of America, is "Savannah’s canine companion, helping her to learn how to act like a dog.""

Los Angeles Zoo: Zoo Animals
"Best reads at the virtual LA Zoo are the feature articles scattered around the site. Look for the cutesy headlines ("Where Wolf?") running down the middle of the front page, and also in: Critter Close-Up ("Hang Out with Indian Fruit Bats"), Zoo Animals ("Fabulous Fossas"), and Zoo Conservation ("Two Days of the Condor.") Excellent tips on researching an animal report can be found at ("How to Find Information about Animals")."
