In our household, we spend a lot of time doing hands
on learning, supplemented by complementary reading. Our bibliography
reflects this style.
The KidZone site is targeted to the Kindergarten thru Grade Six age
group. Much of the basic information on the site is knowledge accumulated
through the years and is known by most adults (information like "birds have
feathers") -- I can't give a specific bibliography for this type of
information (other than a big thank-you to all the great teachers I had in my
young life and the equally wonderful teachers my daughters Tasha and Kaitlyn have now).
Most of the specific animal and plant information has been
shared with us by the helpful staff at the Calgary
Zoo, Seaworld,
Disney's Animal Kingdom, Canadian
National Parks and US National
Parks during talks with guides and from informational signs posted.
Many of the science section items (planets, science experiments, etc)
have
been learned at the Calgary
Science Center during the various presentations they have given.
