- Provides over 100 resources, primarily for advanced topics in biology.
- Provides phylogeny by group, by a root tree, by organism, or by a search engine.
- Searches the Discovery Channel database of resources, projects, and lessons. 2-00
Materials
Papers
- Provides information about animals through news stories.
- Provides an introduction to archaea, living organisms that live in extreme conditions, such as heat, salt, or alkaline, that no other life form can tolerate and that, until recently, were believed to be conditions impossible for life. They also live under "normal" conditions, such as in the oceans.
- Provides an introduction to the bacteria.
- This kingdom includes the organisms we are most familiar with, including plants and animals. For instance, humans are mammalia (mammals) of the vertebrata (vertebrates), which are, in turn, metazoa (animals) of the eukaryota kingdom. What are the other kingdoms?
- Includes a history of different theories of evolution, organized by author, period, and subject.
- Provides a comprehensive and well-organized study of vertebrates.
- Provides an introduction to viruses.
Periodicals
- Provides science articles and science news.
Projects
- Illustrates how insects and animals change as they mature, such as butterflies.
- Provides background information, as well as virtual experiences to involve students in the educational process of science.
- Provides interactive projects in science in topics such as robotics, lasers, earthquakes, space exploration, and DNA.
Search
- Allows keyword searches for sources of information on many biological species.
- Library Land provides a starting point for librarians, especially public librarians.
- Provides zoological taxonomies in various forms - alphabetical, hierarchical and by common name. Also includes a taxonomy search engine but requires the correct zoological name, not the common name.
