BioKIDS: Kids' Inquiry of Diverse Species is a research project of the University of Michigan. This website is a technological resource to support an 8-week curriculum for 5th and 6th graders.
This site includes a Critter Catalog that provides information on common animals found in Michigan and other places in North America. These include vertebrates and invertebrates. Each animal listed has pictures of it in the wild, pictures of their skulls, and in some cases the calls they make. In addition, the Invertebrate ID Guide helps students identify animals that one might find in their school yard.
The Sign Guide helps you decide which animal has been there. Signs to look for are animal tracks, bite or chew marks, things animals build, things that look like eggs, and things that animals leave behind.
