Is it any good?

Surfers who visit this cool science site may be wondering how to navigate through it, since the home page seems to be geared toward teachers. Here's a hint: Curious kids can head straight for the excellent Journey North for Kids section, which includes a student-friendly sampling of stories, videos, and breathtaking photos of each species studied. The project is a great way to give kids fun, hands-on experience with scientific observation and data collection, among other skills. Kids who are interested in participating can talk to a parent or teacher about how to get involved.
