The
Secret Lives of Wild Animals
Fascinating website for children (and the kid in all of us)
that features special creature cams—videos from the
animal's viewpoint. Modern technologies like global tracking
systems and ultraminiaturized sensors now provide researchers
with intimate glimpses of rarely seen behaviors of wild animals

Practical
Uses of Math and Science (PUMAS)
A collection of one-page examples of how math and science topics
taught in K-12 classes can be used in interesting settings.
The examples are written primarily by scientists and engineers.
Treasures in the Sea
A new resource book, available online,
provides teachers of students in grades 3-6 with scientific
information and engaging, hands-on activities related to
marine conservation. These resources will help students understand
life cycles, critical habitats, cultural and economic connections
and the urgency of marine wildlife conservation and management.
Produced by the American Museum of Natural History Center
for Biodiversity and Conservation; the Bahamas
National Trust;
and the Bahamas
Ministry of Education, Youth, Sports and Culture. Funded
in part by NSF.
