San Diego Zoo Website vs World Book- 3rd & 4th Grade

I ran into the San Diego Zoo website while exploring the World Book site.  The zoo website contains the perfect setup for the project that the Third and Fourth Graders will be doing.  The site contains a long list of bird species, and the type of information for each bird is age-appropriate for this younger group of students.  The World Book site was posing a hassel for the students because it requires a user and password (provided by nwaea), and the site was difficult to navigate.  The students were getting lost with all the steps to view information about their bird, and the information was minimal.  The San Diego Zoo site was linked to the World Book, and thus, I made a great discovery!
