Birds (doing nature study cheep)

http://www.birding.com/ Birding.com -- a straight-forward address to a comprehensive set of links. What do you want to learn about birds? Somewhere on this sight you will find out or at least find out how to find out.

http://www.bcpl.net/~tross/by/backyard.html Backyard Birding -- a realistic site for people who can't fly off to the birding hot spots of the world.

http://www.tulane.edu/~danny/labirds.html This site is called Louisiana Birds. By a great local bird photographer. Links and pix

http://www.camacdonald.com/birding/uslousiana.htm This is "Louisiana hotspots." Find out where to see what.

http://birding.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.1000plus.com/BirdSong/ The Virtual Birder takes you on trips to good spots to observe birds virtually. The site changes with the seasons. If you really get into the virtual birder, you can compete for best birder of the week. Unfortunately lots of banner ads associated with this one.

The phases of the moon (various stages of lunacy) and the Universe

http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/vphase.html Moon Phase Pictures from the U.S. Naval Observatory for any day or time. These are the data that the next sites interpret.

http://www.ac.wwu.edu/~stephan/phases.html Phases of the moon pass before your eyes. Inspires questions on how it happens, which brings us to the next sites....

http://www.astro.wisc.edu/~dolan/java/MoonPhase.html Java Moon Phase shows you why there are phases of the moon. View the moon going round the earth and also from the surface of the earth.

Sails and sailboats (Great ideas on sale)

http://www.sailfree.com/Equipment/sails1.htm Sails tells you what the main sails are on a sail boat. In fact, one is the mainsail. Then see how the basic sails are put together on bigger sailing vessels.

http://www.slb.com/seed/en/watch/sailing/ Sailing: From Work to Fun will tell you the physics of how sails work. Bernoulli principles, that sort of thing.

It's not too late for stomates -- plant phsiology for all

http://www.xrefer.com/entry/492854 Some vocabulary for discussing stomata, or is it guard cells, no stomates uh, .......

http://www.hope.edu/academic/biology/msta/ This includes a site called "Gotta Lotta Hotta Stomata" which tells you how to make a model of the guard cells of stomata using tangerines and a short description of a" plant press slide" for viewing whole leaves under a microscope.

http://www.ncsu.edu/sciencejunction/terminal/lessons/brine.html The Brine Shrimp Project will give you examples of the possibilities of brine shrimp.

http://www.tardigrades.com/ Tardigrades?? Yes. A rolling stone gathers no tardigrades because it gathers no moss. More in next links. This one is really just one picture.

http://www.q7.com/~vvv/tardigrade/ Tardigrade Appreciation Headquarters. Links to all things tardigrades. These little "moss animals" are another source of easy to obtain organisms for inquiry.
