    This website provides current as well as historical video and audio artifacts. It also provides photos and illustrations of historical events and people. For example, under Prohibition, students can view the newspaper headlilne making alcohol illegal, as well as photos of events and influential people in that era. Many other historical topics are covered. This would be a useful tool in History or maybe even a Literature class.

    The primary sources at this site are usually viewed in video form in clips from the various PBS documentary programs. Suggest you search like so, "primary sources" + "grade 3", inserting what ever grade you need. PBS Teachers can be accessed from this site, too, to search for good lesson plans for grades 1-12 related to primary sources. The search here can be narrowed down by grade level. This site is good for teaching about people, places, events, animals, inventions, and cultures.

    At this website, users will find photos, diary entries, patents, and other artifacts documenting the inventions of the Wright brothers. I think that this site could be used by students in grades 4-12. Science and history teachers would find this site most useful. I thought that it was a little easier for younger users to navigate than some of the other sites I have found.
