    This government website has an enormous amount of information about the history of the White House and the presidents. There are also pages about the administration, issues and photos/videos. I like the briefing room page with the latest news and current events. Students will like the first pets photo gallery.

    This site provides information about the various branches of the U.S. government, all of the U.S. presidents, the current administration, current issues, and the White House itself. It would be a good resource for social studies or history students

    This site describes how and why the US census is taken. It includes state and US facts as well as quizzes for kids to take. This site would fit well into 4th or 5th grade social studies units, but I think 3rd graders might enjoy it too.

    Facts about states presented in kid friendly format, information is up-to-date, would be a nice companion piece for states research done in fourth grade. Consider pulling data from this site to use in making charts and graphs (fifth grade). Lincoln Public Schools - social studies - U.S. Regions - grade 4 * Regions are composed of states with capitals * Each region has unique characteristics: geography, climate, food sources; plants and animals; people and culture, landmarks

    This site, sponsored by the US Census Bureau, introduces elementary students to basic information gathered in the US Census. The student clicks on a state and is given information about that specific state, including population, age of residents, the number of households, and the urban and rural populations. Information is offered for the 1990 and 2000 census, so students can compare figures.

    This site includes material about famous Americans. This site would work for any reports about presidents, about authors, or about musicians. It would also be helpful when researching the various states. As an American Literature teacher I would use the site to have students research Langston Hughes, for instance. That would also be a great source for Black History Month.

    This site is developed for kids by the Library of Congress. There is animation, games and videos that bring an appeal to this site. Research and learn about Amazing Americans, sports, past events, explore the states and various forms of media and music. Fourth graders in Lincoln research a state and biographies. Have them visit this fun site for some great facts.

    This site is geared for children. It has famous people, places, hobbies, and different time periods to explore. This is a good site to share with kids because it is easy to understand and use as a research tool.

    Looking for another great social studies website? Here it is. This site is sponsored by the Library of Congress and contains amazing stories of America's past. Students will be able to learn more about famous Americans, they can "Jump Back in Time" to read about important events that have taken place in history such as the Revolutionary War, WWII, Western Expansion, Colonial America and many, many more.
