The focus of this report's Topic in Depth section has long been an evocative symbol of the spring season: fertility (and, yes,even good food). The following websites examine different aspects of this natural beauty: the egg. The first (1) site from the Provincial Museum of Alberta presents a virtual egg exhibit featuring "an on-line field guide with over 300 egg images as well as information on egg biology and a touch of egg trivia." This artful site offers links to information about Oology, Egg Diversity, Nesting, and more. The second (2) site, from the University of Illinois Extension features an abundance of hands-on incubation and embryology lesson plans and activities for grades K-12. The third (3) site, from National Geographic, provides fascinating information about fossilized dinosaur eggs while taking site visitors on an online egg hunt. Hosted by the Stanford University's Alumni Association, the fourth (4) site presents information about Eggs and Their Evolution with sections on Incubation, Average Clutch Size, DDT and Birds, and more. From the Chicago Academy of Sciences, the fifth (5) site, presents An Egg-cellent Adventure: a simple 50-minute hands-on lesson about different vertebrates that lay eggs. Created by the Sacramento Zoo, the sixth (6) site is colorful, kid-friendly, and offers basic information about eggs, nests, and even monotremes. The seventh (7) site, the Incredible Edible Egg Web Site, is an American Egg Board creation and features sections on Egg Recipes, Egg Industry Information, Egg Safety, and more. [NL]
