SharkFriends HomePage
Reviewed December 24, 1999 by Michael, a reader from Alabama who is not affiliated with the site. SharkFriends is a wonderful marine life site that focuses on educating visitors about sharks and other ocean animals too. I find it very nicely designed and easy to navigate. It’s especially nice to see a site showing information and pictures about sharks that educate rather than scare.

Real Trees 4 Kids
"Everyone has a story to tell. This is ours. It is a story of cycles ... life cycles, crop cycles, and environmental cycles. We invite you to join us as we journey behind the scenes to see just what tree farming is all about. The National Christmas Tree Association has lots of facts, figures, charts and even games designed to teach us all about (you guessed it) Christmas tree farming. There are separate sections for elementary and secondary students and teachers, covering grade-appropriate topics in science, geography, language arts and economics."

PBS: Life at the Edge of the Sea
"Imagine waking up in the morning submerged in freezing water, spending your afternoon baking beneath a merciless sun, and ending the day battered by 10-foot waves that smash into you with the force of a hundred hammer blows -- all the while fending off attacks from neighbors intent on making you their next meal. The articles and photos are fabulous, but for something interactive visit the virtual tide pools at both low and high tide. Pre-readers will really enjoy pointing and clicking on the tide pool residents in this 360 degree virtual reality exhibit."
