Your kids will love Switcheroo Zoo to create some new species

I came across Switcheroo Zoo earlier in the week and have been using it with my kids in the classroom.  They really enjoy the games and activities and have done some great research on Animals from around the world.  Best of all for me their is an excellent teacher guide to accompany the activities.

Switch Zoo - Make New Animals
Visitors to this unique zoo make their own new creatures by switching the animals' heads, legs and tails. While students play, they can read facts about each of the animals that comprise their new beast. Visit our lesson plans section for classroom ideas.

Endagered Species for Students

A unique collection of thousands of videos, images and fact-files illustrating the world's species, both endangered and in the U.K.  Access it here.

A very cool blog kept by a family who set up an automated device to video the animals that come at night to feed in their backyard. Features a grey fox, raccoons, possum, various birds, cats and even a human!  If you are studying animals with younger kids thn this is definitely worth a look.
