NCEAS launches "Kids do Ecology"
Keywords: WWW, Ecology, Children
NCEAS, the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis, and Los Marineros, a program of The Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, have teamed up to host this site for kids. The site provides on-line educational activities for "young scientists" via an introduction to data (and data displays) and the scientific method; a learning lab (with information on whales and sharks); and an activities center (with various activities on marine organisms, ecology, and evolution). Materials target the fifth-grade-level, and the site includes an e-mail option to "Ask An Ecologist" (directed to a NCEAS scientist). Simple in layout and colorful but uncluttered, this site will be of interest to educators interested in developing their own Web sites.
