My fourth grade class is scheduled to go on a field trip to the Nature Center of Cape May. For one of the activities, the students will be conducting a field investigation on an aquatic food chain. We will also be enjoying a Salt Marsh Safari at Turtle Creek, hoping to spot  terrapin turtles.  As we’re finishing our unit on plants, I was interested in finding a way to connect the two studies. Two years ago, my students created a website recommending various websites related to conservation . I remember PBS was a excellent resource, so when I noticed NCS’s technology facilitator, Kevin Jarrett, featured this site on his blog, I had to check it out. Eekoworld offers the perfect bridge to connect the relationship between plants and animals. Lesson plans also accompany this topic. The entire site  is a “world” of information for teachers and students alike.
