    This is a portal with a plethora of great links. There is a full page of links for educators and then drop-down menus that separate K-6 and 7-12. In the drop-down menus, there are links to entire pages of websites devoted to topics like the government, history, the military, math, and science. Many of the sites contain government documents.
