This is an extremely helpful site! It gives you the information that you need for the periodic table, such as the atomic numbers and groupings, but it also is an interactive table! If you click on the element you will be given an in depth description about the element and it will even tell you all of the groups it is in as well as different classifications. I would definitely recommend this to someone who is interested in chemistry and wants to learn about the different elements.

This video is extremely useful in order to understand how the trainers interact with the animals, specifically the orcas. This video really inspired me, seeing them give commands and having the orcas jump out of the water or swim to them. It is also truly incredible to see the trainers pat and feed the orcas, as well as learn about them in their meetings. The most incredible part of this video is seeing the trainers talking about their bonds with the animals. This video is definitely a must see for anyone interested in training animals of any kind, but specifically marine mammals. It will really help the viewer understand how special it truly is to interact with these animals daily as a profession.

This is a site to make-your-own jeopardy games. I have used it to make review materials for the Brain Bee club I am in when I am leader of the day. It does not provide information, but if you write the questions and answers it will format your information into an interactive game that can record points for any number of teams. This site is a little different from others in that it is not necessarily reliable or unreliable because that depends on the information you put in it. It is not a source of information, but a way for you to communicate information you already have. I have found this simple site to be very helpful. I imagined myself doing a boring powerpoint when I was leader of the day, but this site gave me another option. It made sharing my expertise an activity that could involve the whole group in a fun way.

You might want to try Kahn academy. They've got some great programming tutorials; a 5th grader showed me last week and it is awesome!

A study by David Mech and Michael Nelson about mating patterns in North American Gray Wolves. The study was conducted on radio tagged wolves in the Superior National Forest of Minnesota. It is commonly understood that Gray Wolves mate for life, most commonly with a member of the same pack and can produce as much offspring as a litter per year of their adult life. This article defies that pre-conceived notion, following a single male who interacts with multiple females while they are both in heat. The male is tracked meeting with both females at the same time over 19 times, always in areas far from the occupation of any other wolves or packs. It is interesting to see that, like humans, wolves have a tendency to stray from the common institution of a single mate for life.

Like with any social network, be careful. Not everyone on there is a person just like you trying to learn a new language. But that aside, this website was really great for me to talk with people who knew Mandarin Chinese and were willing to help. Some people I just had quick conversations with that only lasted a few sentences, others I still talk to today. The person that knows Mandarin that I still talk to lives in China and is always happy to help me with the tones and to have conversations with me and teach me how to say things like a normal Chinese person would say them. This is a really great resource for person to person interaction. But again, be careful, as always.

Piktochart is a media form (sort of like prezi) that lets you choose a template and make your own informational graphic, which can include pictures, your own text, and features like graphs, interactive maps, and youtube videos. This source gives you a lot of options, but it is hard to take advantage of them all your first time around, and the site could definitely be more intuitive and user-friendly. However, I would recommend it to fellow students anyway, since it is a relatively easy way to create a class project that looks much more polished and professional than a powerpoint. Using this source was a risk for me, since I am not very tech-savvy, and I was afraid I would not know how to use it. However, after a bit of exploration I now feel pretty confident using piktochart, and it has bettered my learning by making me more comfortable with technology and giving me another option for school projects.

Of Wolves and Men gives an intricate account of the relationship between humans and wolves over the course of history. The book reports the image of "the wolf" through ancient mythology, and the impact of that mythology on humans interactions with wolves. I focused on a chapter that explains the different social hierarchy's of wolf packs, along with wolves social values in the pack. This book is an excellent resource for my work as it gives me a much needed bridge between my main course of study, wolves, and my secondary course of study, humans. Lopez writes elegantly and cleanly.

Discover 70 live species, over 100 interactive experiences, and seasonal changing exhibits and events --- all exploring the Ecology, Culture, History, and Opportunity for stewardship of the Lake Champlain Basin. ECHO Lake Aquarium and Science Center in Burlington VT is a place where I have had the pleasure to go for school trips as a younger kid. I also had the opportunity to go on October 23, 2014. Being part of the Pathways Program I get lots of opportunities to meet and learn from experts on my topics. Today I got to meet Steve Smith, an aquarium keeper at the Echo. Shadowing him and his interns helped me understand the deeper care and maintenance of keeping an aquariums. I learned that when feeding your fish watch the way they act when its feeding time. If they stay at the top waiting for food you should slowly give more until they act uninterested. I also learned that the graits in the filters need to be cleaned one or more a week. Only rinse with water because the there is a certain bacteria that the fish need. I also have to look at ammonia in the water. If there is too much I need to drain 2/3s of the water and add new water to the tank. I found it very helpful to hear this information and I look forward to going again soon.
