Looking for resources about biodiversity? Check out this free web site from ePals.com: http://www.epals.com/projects/info.aspx?divid=biodiversity_home.
The Biodiversity Focus Area on ePals.com provides an online environment for educators and students to share user-generated content in a purposeful and meaningful way.
-- Access free tips, tools and lessons to help students
understand biodiversity.
-- Take a virtual field trip to New Zealand to learn about their native plants
and animals. Ask questions of the New Zealand class who submitted the video.
-- Submit your own virtual field trip by creating a video with your students
highlighting animals and plants in your community to share with students around
the world.
-- Learn about endangered species like the leatherback turtle, and more.
In
addition, check out eFilms at ePals http://www.epals.com/blogs/efilms/default.aspx
to watch documentaries on biodiversity and other topics by
professional film makers. Each video has thought-provoking questions that
can serve as in-class discussions or homework after watching the video.
Students also can review the videos, submit comments online and rate the
films for their peers to see.
