| SciLands is a virtual continent in Second Life. This site contains classroom materials supporting that environment. MatureSecond Life uses a rating system for sims to let the user know what type of content/behavior to expect in that area. Mature or (M) regions may include (among other things) profanity, nudity, and sexual content. The Second Life Community Standards still apply in these areas, so discretion is still recommended.
