Students! This Page is For You!

Disclaimer Parents,Students and Educators, Please read!

I have been to all the sites listed on this page as well as on all of the Man and Mollusc's Internet Resource Section pages. Many of the sites to be found here are very extensive, I cannot guarantee that they do not lead to other sites unsuitable for children. I have done my level best to provide only family orientated links, but, I have no control on the site's external links. Therefor; I advise that parents and educators monitor their children when visiting new sites for the first time. Avril Bourquin
