http://www.psigate.ac.ukThis site is a news directory for all areas of physical science and engineering. If you click on the logo in the margin to the left you will link to this website. This site keeps an archive of news articles on physical science topics, links to other physical science sites, an RSS newsfeed service and a search bar for physical science topics and sites.

http://www.livingmachines.com The Webpage of a consultant group of archetects and environmental engineers that build using green technology, solar energy, and on-site wastewater treatments and air cleansing using bioremediation. The site offers white papers and examples.

http://www.rps.psu.edu/0009/machine.html Penn State is researching the technology. Great diagrams and explanations for how it works.

Examples of microbial biomediation studied by USGS http://water.usgs.gov/wid/html/bioremed.html

Reducing cost of cleanup by allowing treatment of contamination in place, using natural processes, and reducing the stress on the environment through the use of natural processes. See the Chappelle article on page http://water.usgs.gov/wid/html/bioremed.html Search this site for these topics: Use of trees and other plants for bioremediation; Wetlands/oceans /waterways, etc.; Chart of toxins and the organism that cleans it up and more.

http://science.nasa.gov/newhome/headlines/ast14dec99_1.htm About the bacterium in cow patties that is a being genetically engineered to remediate areas of radioactivity, mercury, cadmium and other toxins. This organism grows in numerous extreme conditions and will be important in terraforming and generating microbial products through genetic engineering.
http://www.clu-in.org/databases/ a set of links to databases about biorem.

Take sample listing, analize it and compare it to the references in an attempt students to interpret the data. http://www.clu-in.org/products/altcovers/usersearch/lf_details.cfm?Project_ID=59 for example
