Passport to the Rainforests

RESEARCH/ers
Meet researchers in the field and the multimedia production crew who use satellites and online connections to erase the miles between you and the rainforest. Biographies and Field Journals from scientists and special student correspondents take you “behind the screens.”

Interact
INTERACT will once more be live and interactive for the 2001-2002 school year
Send e-mail to the researchers and receive individual answer; collaborate with other students and fellow teachers, and post exemplary student work; participate in online discussions and The Great “Backyard Biodiversity” Survey.

Resources
A MultiMedia Guide to books, articles, videos, CD-ROMs and online resources, with mini-reviews from educators, and an index of all the images, video clips and sounds found on this site.

Educators
A special section for teachers and lifelong learners: register for the project; sample lesson plans and order the Teacher’s Guide and MultiMedia Kit; connect with online mentors and PASSPORT TO KNOWLEDGE Advocates; and link to an assessment site that provides a customized checklist of science standards your students can achieve through PASSPORT TO THE RAINFOREST.
