Amsel, S. (2012). Animals. Retrieved from http://www.exploringnature.org/db/subcat_index.php?dbID=43 [|Exploring Nature Educational Resource] is a more advanced resource but is definitely helpful! It lists phylums and classes of animals which could be used for gifted students or students in a higher grade level.
