Recommendation:

The Biodome´s home page shares several featured exhibits that are happening at the museum and online experiences. The information shared on this site is easy to follow, interesting and appealing to a young audience. The `Cybernature´ tool in the `Naturalia´ area of the `Nature Missions´ is an interactive research tool that students will enjoy. It´s most useful for fast facts about many animals and not in-depth research.

Description:
