A great site for Life Science and Earth-Space Science, this site addresses a popular region in Arctic studies, the Bering Sea. This site has articles and information on Ecosystems, maps of the region, as well as a customized data analysis function that allows you to access a number of NOAA databases. The databases may be good for advanced research, while the ecosystem information is suitable for classroom use. There is a lot of information to learn from this site, however, the Photo Gallery still uses Flash. This site is still worth a visit for science teachers.
