Backyard Jungle

(Big Chalk.com Top Web Site) You don�t have to travel any further than your own backyard�and your computer�to take a look at the science that�s just out the back door. This kid-friendly online community allows users to create maps of their natural surroundings (both real and imaginary) and chart the flora and fauna they see. Users vote on their favorite backyard, post photos, and discuss the wonders of their own little slice of nature. (This site uses Shockwave and Flash.)
