MBGNet

MGBNet - Missouri Botanical Garden in case you were wondering. What we have here is a very good, fairly detailed look at Earth's biomes. As has been the trend in my class this term, everything Earth and nature related is on the agenda. This is one of the best sites I have come across that looks at the six biomes.

Each biome is covered in detail, with an explanation of where they can be found, the animals that live there, weather patterns etc. This is a great place to begin when discussing the topic.

As well as the biomes, the site also explore the freshwater and marine water ecosystems in detail.

As far as IWBs are concerned, it's not a perfect site. There is nothing special, nor interactive about it. But what we do have is a very good, informative web site. Excellent for research and teacher notes. Yes the site is American, distinguishable by it's name, but it essentially could have originated anywhere, the information is relevant and universal.
