The Internet Scout Report for Students, by Students
A Project of the InterNIC
Dean's WWW Pagemaker site - HTML HOTLIST
This page explains how to make a homepage even if you don't know a thing
about it. I think it is a page for all ages. It has information for the
beginner, intermediate and expert homepage builder. I use it when our
Webmaster, Dean, is not here to help me personally. It is very well
done.

Hypertext MarkUp Language (HTML)
This is a web site that tells how to build a homepage. It gives step by
step instructions on how to make anything from a simple homepage to a very
complicated one. The neat thing about this page is that it answers any
questions you might have on building a homepage. I think anyone from 6th
grade up could use this site without any problems. The page is provided by
the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), who set Web standards.

Smithsonian's Ocean Planet Exhibition: The Ocean Science
Room
This is a very useful site because it links to a lot of informative sites.
The most helpful of these sites in my research are in the Biodiversity
section, which includes examples of sea life; the HOW DEEP section, which
includes a Depthometer that shows how deep sea life and man-made vessels
can go (see "How Deep" below); and the HOW cold, HOW dark, HOW much
pressure
section, which includes more information on life and vessels at different
depths.
The Ocean Science room of the Ocean Planet exhibit can be used by anyone
who can read, it is very interesting, and it has a lot of good pictures
and
illustrations.

Aquarius, Home of the World's First Underwater Web
Site
This page is about Aquarius, the underwater research center. It is located
off the coast of Key Largo, Florida, sixty feet beneath the surface of the
Atlantic Ocean. Aquarius is run by the University of North Carolina at
Wilmington. This page is updated by the scientists living in Aquarius
constantly. It lets you look in on their work and progress from your own
computer. Aquarius is the first underwater web site. It targets people
who care what is going on in the coral reefs.

The Planetary Coral Reef Foundation
Coral reefs are threatened and endangered world wide. Coral reefs are
necessary to the world's atmosphere because the reefs and algae biomasses
consume carbon dioxide. The Planetary Coral Reef Foundation has several
goals in their effort to help save the coral. One goal is to observe the
health of the world's coral by developing techniques of monitoring reefs
with satellite technology. Although not visually exciting, this site is
of interest to those who are looking for environmental watch programs.

Great Barrier Reef Aquarium
The Great Barrier Reef Aquarium researches marine related subjects,
especially the culture of reef organisms. The biological facilities of the
Aquarium are available for hire by visiting investigators. Townsville,
with it's 320 sunny days a year, attracts many people interested in the
underwater world. The town is Australia's teaching and research center in
the tropical marine sciences, it's considered the unofficial capital of
North Queensland. The reef exhibit is, length-38 meters, width-17 meters,
tank depth-5.2 meters, water depth-4.5 meters, water volume-2500000
liters. The same body of water is continually re-used and recycled. The
Reef exhibit is connected to the Holding Tank. I think that this is a
great site because it is very informative. I would recommend this site for
ages 10 and up.

How Deep
This is the net site that has been most useful to me in my research. It
shows how deep different man-made units and sea life can go. It is useful
for all ages who want to find out more about diving technology. There are
links to many other homepages that contain various information on diving,
fish and submarines. This is definitely a useful homepage.

Eric's Scuba Page
A useful and helpful site for me is Eric's Scuba Page! It has a lot of
information about scuba diving and the technology used for diving. I
think it would be helpful for all ages if they want to learn more about
diving. It also has links to other homepages related to diving. I learned
a lot from it and I think other people can too.

The Colorado Avalanche's Edge on the Web
If you like hockey, check out the Colorado Avalanche homepage. You can get
current scores, ticket information, in-depth player information, video
clips from games, a guide to postseason action, the latest and greatest in
hockey merchandise, and a NHL rule book. My personal favorite is a place
that shows the positions and the players that play those positions. The
Edge on the Web site owners ask that visitors to the page complete a free
registration, but this is not required to review the information on the
site.

Anybody who likes R.L. Stine's Goosebumps books will like this site. It

books, and information on books that are "coming soon."
