Sea World Killer Whale Physical Characteristics

http://www.bev.net/education/SeaWorld/killer_whale/physchkw.html

Best site because it has LOTS of information on the killer whale. It has pictures and words and lots of links to more information.

Este es uno de mejores sitios porque tiene MUCHA información sobre las ballenas asesinas. Tiene fotografías y palabras y muchos eslabones de información.

Jorge B. Age 6; Seeds University Elementary School, Westwood, CA

This site has information about the head, flippers and other parts of the killer whale's body. It talks about hearing, communication, how they have babies, and when they are born. It also has a lot of pictures. It tells how much they weigh and how intelligent whales are. It tells about the size of males and females. This sites had the most pages of any other sites I found.

The Seahorse

http://vose.demos.com/seahorse.html

This site has good information about seahorses. You can learn a lot about seahorses. I like the picture. Other people will learn about seahorses. You can also use WebCrawler to get information on seahorses.

Edgar H. Age 8; Seeds University Elementary School, Westwood, CA

This site has a bad picture but good information. The information made it easier for me to do my report. It was kind of easy to read. I got a little help with it. It didn't give me everything I needed for my report. I got other information from the Internet too.

Whale Information Network

http://www.webmedia.com.au/whales/

This site had the most information on the killer whale. It has a lot of pictures. It tells you how much it weighs and how much it will grow.

Este sitio tiene la mayor información sobre las ballenas asesinas. Tiene muchas fotografías. Dice cuanto pasan y cuanto crecen.

Ariana N. Age 8; Seeds University Elementary School, Westwood, CA

This site had information about killer whales. The information was hard to read, but I still liked it. It had good pictures. Since there is only one world, the information we get on the Internet can't be coming from another world. But it can be coming from another country or state. The Whale Information Network comes from Australia.

Whaletimes - Fishin For Facts Library

http://www.lightspeed.net/~whaletimes/whahmpg.htm

This site helped me to find information on my sea animal which is the sperm whale. If you are studying whales this site would help you. It is fun at the same time as it is helping you. There are games you can play and you can learn at the same time.

Justin f. Age 8; Seeds University Elementary School, Westwood, CA

This site gave me good information for my report. It had the most information about my whale. I needed some help to read it but I still liked it. I also liked the picture.

Juliet C. Age 6; Seeds University Elementary School, Westwood, CA

I only found a little information on killer whales. Whale Times had a little information. I went to Fishing for Facts and it has funny picutres but not very good information.

This site has a lot of information about sea stars. It tells about the different colors of sea stars. It has a good picture of a sea star. It was easy to read. It taught me that sea stars have legs but they don't have toes! They also have no eyes.

Gary L. Age 7; Seeds University Elementary School, Westwood, CA

This site taught me that when the sea stars go out of the sea they can only stay out for two minutes or they dry up. I did need some to read this but I still thought it was good. I also liked the picture. I also found information about sea stars in books. I like looking in books too.

This site told me that starfish don't have any eyes. It has a good picture of a sea star. It gave me a lot of information about sea stars.

Lindsey R. Age 7; Seeds University Elementary School, Westwood, CA

This information tells me that a seahorse has a face like a horse. The picture is kind of weird, but the words are o.k. It was easy to read.

I liked this site because I found a picture of the black-eyed hermit crab. This Web site just has pictures. I also found a lot of information at home on my computer there.

Fish FAQ2

http://gopher.wh.whoi.edu/faq/fishfaq2b.html#q13

I liked this site because now I know that the electric eels can be as big as ten feet long. It has a good picture of an electric eel. I used Web Crawler to help me find inforamtion on electric eels. There really wasn't very much on the Internet. I found better information in books. It was a little bit frustrating trying to find information about electic eels on the Internet.

Seattle Aquarium

http://www.speakeasy.org/aquarium/otter.html

This site has good pictures of Sea Otters, but bad information. It really doesn't tell us a lot about sea otters.
