    Within this webpage is a link to Real Lives. It offers a free trial but it is subscription based although it looks like it could be used across curriculum areas.

Through statistically accurate events, Real Lives brings to life different cultures, human geography, political systems, economic opportunities, personal decisions, health issues, family issues, schooling, jobs, religions, geography, war, peace, and more!
