Social Studies, Human Resources and Adptations

Activities for students such as neighborhood clean-up, book drive, state and loca laws, and "good citizenship" assemblies.

Great site Barb. What a quick way to access project ideas for the current time period you are teaching. For example, a Halloween clean up project idea. Just a click or two away and you have a fun and educational project. Nice work.

This site offers great history about the presidency, as well as great primary source lessons.

I liked this site, especially the hands on activities. Anytime there is something for the students to get involved with it enhances their learning.

Global Connections is the online home to a family of sites created to help teachers, students, and the general public learn more about events around the world through readings, lesson plans, links, timelines, and maps.

This site contains lesson plans for Civics and Anthropology, as well as many others.

Great find Jennifer B!

Jen, This is a great resource. So interesting to read all about sod houses and the daily life that revolved around the house. I especially like the actual letters that students (teachers) can read.

Thanks to Jennifer B for this interactive timeline of MN history link.

Thanks for this!! Great for Minnesota History!

It is important to show students how women in history have had an impact in their lives today. This site is a great resource for students and teachers.

I am so happy this is one to share. Women history is very important because it seems like most students think of Men in history. This is another great resource for us-I think I may share this with some current teachers now to see if they can use it.

This website contains a plethora of information about our state's judicial system, as well as resources for students and teachers-including lesson plans.

A very dense but comprehensive timeline of the Ojibwe. A must read for a MN social studies teacher. Thanks to Colleen S for this.

This has different areas of science; chemistry, enginerring, and forces and energy. Teachers and students can click on the experiment they wish to try. There are step by step instructions and a material list provided. Children also comment on the results from conducting the experiment, which are listed after the directions.

News from newspapers around the world.

Depressing but visually compelling map of US unemployment. Thank you Jessa for sharing.

Painful but smart.
