Scholastic Squids

[cephalopodcast]

Posted about this on my blog, but also wanted to summarize it here. Scholastic has an interactive Science Exploration website on giant squid:

Investigating The Giant Squid: Mysterious Cephalopods of the Sea

Student features include basic external and internal anatomy, an interview/slideshow with Dr. Neil Landman from the American Museum of Natural History and squid news. A teacher guide is also available.
