Science by grade level. The only thing that is a negative is most of the video is supported by flash and not many by shockwave so it would be difficult to view on Macs.

Great site to teach American History. Has an archive section where students can research look up famous people, places and events and objects from the 1700's. There are also fun educational games pertaining to history.

I love the Now and Then section. It takes various historical sights and compares them from now and what they were like then.

Google earth allows students to visit places all around the world without having to leave their seat. It is a great learning tool to be used in conjunction with any history curriculum.

This site offers a huge selection of games and interactive activities. The activities are searchable by grade level and topics. This site is a good supplemental activity. The graphics may be overwhelming for some students. There are no accessibility options.
