This document, a collection of 2-4 page articles from "Sciences and Children," provides useful information on the collecting and culturing of plants and animals. Among the 43 chapters are: (1) "Living Organisms: Important Classroom Resources"; (2) "Establishment of a Life Science Culture Center"; (3) "Collecting and Growing Algae"; (4) "Duckweed"; (5) "Seed Plants"; (6) "Culturing Protozoa"; (7) "Snails and Preschoolers"; (8) "Planaria"; (9) "Tree Frogs"; (10) "Crayfish"; (11) "Spiders as Classroom Pets"; (12) "Collecting and Maintaining Frog and Toad Eggs"; (13) "A Freshwater Aquarium"; (14) "Discovering Your Neighborhood Bog"; and (15) "A Big Lesson in a Small Pond."
