Picture Australia-National Library of Australia - 0 views

    This site has over 1.8 million searchable images collected from archives, libraries, galleries, and museums in Australia and overseas. This site would be good for social studies, animal, geography, the arts, and countries research. For example, one of the things found when searching "Nebraska" was a picture postcard from 1908 with a battleship and a short history of the USS Nebraska.

    The links from this site are fantastic! There were some broken links from the library of congress that I think would be very good if they were fixed. State standards are listed at the bottom, but they did not include Nebraska. Lesson plans, examples and activities help teach the topic of primary sources well.

    Great website for elementary students about weather. Many activities to engage students as well as teachers.Stories and games make it a fun site to visit and learn at the same time. It also addresses one of the Nebraska State Standards for Science in 2nd grade. This primary site has a teacher guide for ideas to teach about many different kinds of weather related information.

    This site has lots of information about weather. Students can learn about lightning, tornadoes, hurricanes,blizzards, and floods. There are links to safety, games, activities, stories, and more. One of the games is cloud concentration in which students click on cards to find matching clouds. The stories looked very interesting and were all about severe weather.
  •  
    This site is fun, friendly and easy to navigate. Students can research a topic such as clouds. After students have read about the layers of the clouds they have the options of playing a related game or related activity that could be done in the classroom or at home.
