How Energy Moves, 2 sites

It is important for students to understand the flow of energy.  It gives prospective that there is nothing isolated in our world and how everything is linked in some way.

Water, Carbon and Nitrogen

This site is a great quick review site for student. Everything is explained in very basic terminology and would be great reference for students before an exam.  The pictures are great, they are not just basic black in white pictures, but very colorful with pictures of plants and animals.  I love to use multiple pictures to emphasize the same concept.



Food chains and webs


This site is meant for a high level of readers then the class I would be teaching this to, but it explains food webs and chains really well.  I would ask students to visit this site and primarily focus on the first section and if they would like to skim over the rest of the site and see if they see anything they would like to know more about in class. I would be a great site to stimulate questions in class and we could have a discussion to expand on some of the more complex language and topics on this site.
