"Explore.org hosts live streaming videos from all over the world allowing learners to observe a variety of animals in their natural habitats.

The learning extends beyond the classroom offering a portal into the natural world with authentic exposure to a variety of species.

Applications of explore.org can include creating a center activity in which students observe animals in their natural settings to gather and record data as citizen scientists.

As the introduction to an animal research project, this resource can ignite curiosity and encourage further investigation.

Additionally, explore.org can serve as a gateway to compare and contrast different animals among diverse habitats." (AASL)
