Encyclopedia of Life
I have been going through my saved RSS feeds and came across one from Karl Fisch where he talks about the Encyclopedia of Life. Those of you who are budding scientists are sure to find something interesting here.
Comprehensive, collaborative, ever-growing, and personalized, the Encyclopedia of Life is an ecosystem of websites that makes all key information about all life on Earth accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world.
There are:
About 25 exemplar species pages. These pages show the kind of rich environment, with extensive information, to which all the species pages will eventually grow. These pages have been authenticated (endorsed) scientists.
Tens of thousands of additional species pages. These pages are authenticated, but do not contain the rich array of information found on the exemplar pages.
About 1 million minimal species pages contain the scientific and common names for a species and often have a distribution map, but lack other authenticated information.
BTW I have created an account for the class with our usual password (Year 7s we will tell you next week).
