Images and Clips of the Natural World

Well I'm back... from outer space... I just walked in...

I'll start up again with a website that is extremely useful for cross-curricular links between art and science.

If you are looking for images or even movie clips of plants and animals to inspire children to produce their own pictures then the best place to go is here. ARKive describes itself as a "Noah's Ark for the Internet era - a unique global initiative, gathering together into one centralised digital library, films, photographs and audio recordings of the world’s species." It has been designed to be child friendly, which also means that it is easy for adults to use and to find things.

ARKive also has a site for teachers with some useful science resources, so don't forget to check this as well.
