Ocean Websites for Research

Hi Third Graders,

You are about to embark on research for your Ocean Life project, so we have put together a bank of resources to help you.  It is always wise to begin with online Encyclopedias, such as Britannica and Groliers, then move to the other websites.  You will spend today exploring the following sites, and filling out information in your fact sheets. 

Have Fun,
