The U.S. Census Bureau has given students a great resource to learn about why we take a census, and facts about individual states.

This website, funded by the U.S. Department of Education, has a plethora of resources available to help parents and teachers looking for resources.  One of my favorite parts to use in the classroom was the section of videos from many different authors.  These would be great to use for an author study, lesson, or just to enhance a book the students enjoyed.

This is a great site to help enhance an Earth Science unit.  Students can get first hand information from NASA in an easier to read format.  One thing I particularly loved was their explanation of air pressure.  This has always been a difficult topic for me to describe.
