Information Connection
Hello, you are in high school! Therefore, you get to do your own research about porifera. Use the activities to help you find what to look for. It is recommended that you start here:
The Wet World of Sponges
However, once you have explored those pages and compiled information, choose two of the sites below to learn some more. Make a short summary of your findings to share with your class mates.
The Incredible Sponge
Cancer and Sponges
Taxonomy and Tests of Your Knowledge
Basic Information and New Facts
Organized Info
The Real Deal on Taxonomy
Sponge Truths

An Australian Museum

Where it All Began

If you prefer other means of research, you can always check out magazines and books. However, the only books written on sponges, besides children's illustrated books (way below your level) are scientific books written by scientists for scientists. Magazines have only a few articles. Your best bet for research would be the web, but it's your research!
