=Ecoregions= http://www.wildlifedepartment.com/ You can find a map of Oklahoma's ecoregions and list of endangered species under the "Wildlife Diversity" link. The "Species Spotlight" links provide primary source readings (from //Outdoor Oklahoma// magazine) about a wide variety of Oklahoma wildlife. (website added & evaluated by Beth Watt)
 * Ecoregions in Oklahoma (Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation)**

=Habitats= http://school.discoveryeducation.com/lessonplans/programs/habitats/ This curriculum is designed to be enhanced by the Discovery Channel School video "Habitats of the World," but it also has specific project ideas for the following habitats: grasslands, temperate forest, tropical rain forest, desert, polar ice, and tidepool. The discussion questions and Extension links are especially outstanding. (website added & evaluated by Beth Watt)
 * Habitats of the World (Discovery Education)**

http://www.wildlifehc.org/managementtools/backyard-migratorybirds.cfm This site has a variety of curriculum that is based upon specific wildlife. I especially like the interdisciplinary "Team Flight" unit for middle schoolers. (website added & evaluated by Beth Watt)
 * Teaching Students About Backyard Conservation (Wildlife Habitat Council)**

http://museum.nhm.uga.edu/conservation/lesson_plans.htm This site has lessons focused upon adaptation, drainage basins, food webs, habitats, migration, and others. I especially like the "Food Web" activity, because it includes so many components of the environment. (website added & evaluated by Beth Watt)

Kristy Martin-Science - I will list some sites that I have found that I would use with this project. We have a high population of Native Americans, so I know my kids would love this project. I would start with a guest speaker, and a field trip. Once again this would be great for me because I can use this with all science subjects, which are together in my class. I would have biology focus on habitat and medicine; physical science would work on the different tools, and environmental work on the shelter. Both of these sites have great information on the Ponca Indians, and Standing Bear. http://www.bigorrin.org/ponca_kids.htm http://www.nativeamericans.com/Ponca.htm
