The EcoCasting Project is a set of hands-on inquiry activities focused on ecosystems, food webs, bioaccumulation, and invasive species designed for use in environmental science and biology classes in grades 9-12. The curriculum is aligned to Illinois state standards, the College Readiness Standards, and the National Science Education Standards. It addresses the following objectives:   *  Using ecological models to investigate food web complexity   *  Investigating PCB toxins and how they move through an ecosystem   *  Investigating invasive species and how they disrupt ecosystems and change bioaccumulation patterns

This arcade is a portal to games and interactive activities focused on ocean and air themes. It highlights the science and the activities of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and other agencies and organizations promoting environmental stewardship. WaterLife: Where Rivers Meet the Sea This serious game is based on the ecosystem of a United States west coast estuary and follows a human, Valerie, as she encounters Oscar the sea otter, and the Claminator, a geoduck clam. The friends are challenged to learn about the factors that produce healthy estuaries, food webs, and why estuaries are essential to ocean life and to humans.

The Ocean Literacy website is here to support anyone and everyone who is interested in promoting ocean literacy. Ideas for development and evolution are welcomed. This website is maintained by the College of Exploration.  Lawrence Hall of Science and the College of Exploration are currently working together as a part of COSEE CA to develop the website.

Welcome to ARKive Wildlife films and photos are vital weapons in the battle to save the world's endangered species from the brink of extinction. So with the help of the world's best filmmakers, photographers, conservationists and scientists, ARKive is creating the ultimate multimedia guide to the world's endangered animals, plants and fungi.

The Encyclopedia of Life (EOL) is an unprecedented global partnership between the scientific community and the general public. Our goal is to make freely available to anyone knowledge about all the world's organisms. Anybody can register as an EOL member and add text, images, videos, comments or tags to EOL pages. Expert curators ensure quality of the core collection by authenticating materials submitted by diverse projects and individual contributors. Together we can make EOL the best, most comprehensive source for biodiversity information.
