Educational Resources for Researching March's Topic
The Relation between World Health and Population
One of the process objectives for this simulation revolves around the exploration of, and use of, resources on the net. We do not want to give you all the possible links, nor would that be feasible, but we give you a few here to get you started. We will also be providing our simulation users with a bulletin board where they can post great sites for use on the specific topic we will be exploring on any one particular month.
