My Take
I think this is a great resource for students to use while researching a particular living organism as well as a great resource for teachers find ideas for lesson plans and supplemental materials.
How I Use It
Teachers can use the resources on this website to teach students about animal behavior and sounds, relevant vocabulary terms, biodiversity, biological classification, citizen science, ecology, evolution, human impact, and much more. The educational link contains lesson plans, articles podcasts, and images.
