I chose to evaluate the Educator's Reference database at http://mel.org. I found it interesting that the database is meant for teachers and parents (which makes sense). I liked seeing the lesson plan portion of the class and can see this to be helpful for both audiences, but the research piece appears pretty difficult to sift through unless you are knowledgable in that particular content area. This would be a good source for getting more technical information about science topics I teach, but its pretty boring at the same time. My search of genetics turned up 1758 academic journal results alone, thus credible sources. I once again like having the lexile reading level available in the short citation to help if I were to have students sifting through this.
