The American Geological Institute (AGI) has assembled a mix of resources for earth science educators, including promotional videos such as "Why Earth Science?" and a world image
bank. The image bank can be found at the "Earth Science World Image Bank" tab, and it contains over 6,000 images. Visitors can browse the images or type in keywords. The site also includes videos which originally appeared in the online version of "Earth" magazine. These short subjects cover "Black Gold Agriculture", "Platinum from the Deep", and "State of the Nation's Ecosystems". Visitors can also read their publication "Pulse of Earth Science Education", which offers an overview of the trends in the field.

Sing about science
http://www.singaboutscience.org/
A team of scientistsinterested in studying the "usefulness of music in science and math education," created this musical archive with funds provided by the NationalScience Foundation. First-time visitors should start by clicking on the"Featured Videos" area. Here they will find a few sample songs from topics that include biology, math, and engineering. Moving on, visitors can use the"Find/Add Songs" section to look for songs by keyword, song title, or performer. Visitors may want to start by listening to songs such as"Biochemistry, Biochemistry" (sung to the tune of "O Christmas tree") or"Protein biosynthesis" (sung to the tune of "My Bonny lies over the ocean").Educators shouldn't miss the "Educating with Music" area, as it contains examples of how best to use these informative and melodious numbers in the classroom.

BioEd Online: Spider in Space Mission Page
http://www.bioedonline.org/space/STS_Mission_134S.cfm
Beyond the bounds of the Earth's atmosphere, two golden orb spiders are living and flourishing on the International Space Station. Each one lives in separate habitat chambers, and they have a bountiful supply of fruit flies. Each chamber contains cameras and lighting systems, and visitors can use this site from BioEd Online to peer into their world up above. BioEd Online also provides an amazing teachers guide here for educators, along with a dozen or so archived spider videos. Educators take also take advantage of the PowerPoint presentations, and a collection of links to pamphlets on the
operation of rockets and microgravity.

Exploring life's origins
http://exploringorigins.org/
This website is part of a multimedia exhibit at the Museum of Science in Boston, which aims to "use molecular illustration and animation to help describe origins of life research and theories to broad audiences." Animations include "A Timeline of Life's Evolution" , "Formation of the Moon" and "Formation of the Solar System". Visitors can drag the red marker on the timeline at the top of the page to reveal certain images of important events in the earth's life history. More microscopic animations include "Understanding the RNA World".

The Animal Communication Project
http://acp.eugraph.com/index.html
This website is very accessible to the lay reader, while it also has enough references to scientific studies to appeal to teachers, researchers, and students of animal communication and biology in general. The site contains the full-text of the (now out-of-print) book, The Language of Animals, in addition to "Research News" and some multimedia features. The type of animal communication this website refers to is not that between animals and humans, but among animals.
