Rainforest Animals
http://www.rainforestanimals.net/
This website is a great reference tool for finding
information about animals in the rainforest. It includes the main topics and
animals that are included in the Concept Map. This would be a great site for students to use for a project because students are able to determine
the location, diet, habitat, size, and reproduction of each rainforest animal. This
website is full of useful information and is easy to navigate through.

A Sampling of Tropical Rainforest Animals
http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/rainforest/animals/Rfbiomeanimals.shtml
This website would be a great resource for in-depth class discussions because it shows the importance of rainforests
in the ecology of the Earth. It shows where all the different rainforests are
located in the world, as well as the different plants and animals that live in
each rainforest. This website is great for students because it breaks down each
rainforest into categories, showing the difference in animals that live in each
one. It is very helpful because it goes in to great detail about each animal
listed, providing pictures and descriptions of the anatomy and classification
of each animal.

Rainforest : Rainforest Animals
http://www.mbgnet.net/sets/rforest/animals/index.htm
This website gives amazing descriptions about
different animals of the rainforest. It provides a picture of each animal,
along with the class, order, size, family, scientific name, range, diet,
conservation status, and habitat. Under the description of the animals, it
provides a small narrative of what the animal is like and a picture of where
this rainforest animal is located at. All the links to each animal are conveniently
located on the left side which makes it easy to view each animal. If students were assigned a specific rainforest animal to research, this would be a great resource for facts and pictures.

Fact Sheet: Tropical Rainforest Animals
http://ran.org/fact-sheet-tropical-rainforest-animals
This website is filled with common questions
students may ask about the rainforest. It is a great fact sheet for students to
refer to as they are discovering information about rainforest animals. There is
a glossary at the bottom of the page to make sure students have every bit of
information they need on this website. It is very straight to the point and a
great source of information about the rainforest. This website would be great to spark more questions in students about the rainforest.

Animals
http://library.thinkquest.org/5393/animal_intro_rf.html
This is a great interactive website for students when exploring the different animals of the rainforest. The students can simply click on an animation that will take them to the topic that was clicked on. There is a description given under each topic, then links to more information under that topic. Example: If the student clicked on "Mammals," the site would take them to a page with a description of mammals and links to information about different types of mammals. I would love to put this website on the smartboard and have students interact with the website as a class.
