|| [|Exploring Nature Educational Resource] This site is intended for grades K-8 and features a searchable database of more than 1,500 animals categorized by classification (mammals, birds, etc.), by trait (scavengers, carnivores, etc.) by habitat (rainforest animals, desert animals) and by geographic location. Additional resource databases include plants, trees, biomes, adaptations, space and the human body. The site also features Nature Movies, Ask the Zoo Vet, Scientists You Should Know, Invasive, and much more.

Kids InfoBits is a database developed especially for beginning researchers in Kindergarten through Grade 5. Featuring a developmentally appropriate, visually graphic interface, the most popular search method is moving from a broad subject to a narrower topic using the subject-based topic tree. The curriculum-related, age appropriate, full-text content is from the best elementary reference sources and magazines. This database covers geography, current events, the arts, science, health, people, government, history, sports and more. ||
