    This site includes government documents maintained by the U.S. Department of State about the land, people, history, government, political conditions, economy, and foreign relations of independent states, some dependencies, and areas of special sovereignty around the world. These documents are part of the Diplomacy in Action webpage maintained by the U.S. Department of State.

    This site may be a valuable resource for information related to United Nations day held on October 24th. The Office of the Historian is found on the U.S. Department of state website. It has historical government documents, information on key milestones in history, and important biographical information on all Secretary of State officeholders in U.S. history. On the site, a link will take you to a guide to all countries that provides historical reference information on all aspects of the United States' relations with the countries of the world dating back to 1776 to the present time.

    There are many links on this site to find out more about the U.S. Mint and coins. Students can click on "Vacation in 50 States" to play a game that would familiarize them with the different states using that state's quarter. A fun way to learn more about each state!

    This website from the U.S. Government Printing Office has learning tools divided into grades K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12. It covers all aspects of how our government works, symbols of U.S. government, and memorials. I think the site map is helpful because it is organized alphabetically with links to grade appropriate pages for topics.

    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.

    Another fun game to play to learn the states and where they are located. I would use this site in Social Studies to study the states and where they are located.

    This site is a great place to learn the states and their location in the U.S. I will use this with the 5th graders I tutor and pass it on to their teachers as well.

    This site has almost anything one would want having to do with the United States government. It is one of the most extensive sites relating to the U.S. government. It has information for students as low as kindergarten and as high as seniors. It seems rare to find a site that truely covers this range of ages as well as this one does. For the elementary teacher and the high school history teacher this will be a helpful site to use.

    This website focuses on the study of geology, geography, our natural resources, and the natural hazards that threaten us. I believe this site is best suited for secondary level students. Government documents include photos, maps, news releases, and videos about all topics in the earth science area. I especially found the "Science In Your Backyard" tab on the right margin interesting. You select a state and a link will allow you to access real time data, statistics, and new releases related to geology and natural resources in that state.

    The NOAA is the oldest scientific agency in the U.S. The National Weather Service that we know today dates back to 1870. Government documents on this site include meteorological and climate data from all states, maps, and images. The online NOAA Photo Library on this site has over 32,000 images, including hundreds of images of our shores and coastal seas, and thousands of marine species images ranging from the great whales to plankton. This is the homepage to access all of NOAA information and links, but there is an educational outreach link that would lead teachers and students to other valuable webpages sponsored by NOAA.

    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.

    Labeled "Facts and Fun for all Ages." Photos and basic information about the White House, the presidents, presidential pets and fun historical facts. Main focuses: presidents and White House. Visually pleasing, easy-to-use.

    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 is and an awesome site for students who want to intern for any government job possible. There are connections to the FBI, the state department, EPA, and many more. This would be good experience for any 9-12 grade student. The teacher librarian could be a big help to a student wanting to intern with almost any government agancy.

    The official kid's portal for the U.S. Government. Countless of varieties of sites and links to choose from. Wow! What a tremendous wealth of free, fun and fabulous information. To top it off. a search box is included. This site is definitely one for all kids to use for research of all kinds as well as teachers to search and utilize.

    Colorfully animated character of Benjamin Franklin. Follow Ben as he explains many aspects of American government. Explore through all grade levels. Text rich information with animation, games and activities. Fifth graders in Lincoln learn about the American government so this would be a great, fun site to utilize in teaching this information.
  • Catherine Wilkinson on 30 Sep 10
     
    This is a wonderful site to use with Character Counts. One of the pillars is citizenship and there is a page devoted to citizenship. Fifth grade is all about the U.S. and so if you need example and a site that is kid friendly, this is it.

    Great site for all ages. This site gives great information on all aspects of our government. Kids love this site because of the animation and colorful appearance. The vocabulary is geared towards kids so that all information is easily understood.

    This is an amazing site, fun for kids and perfect for all grades. As a 3rd grade teacher, I found many items on the 3-5 grade level applicable to my SS program. For example, Citizenship, Your Neighborhood and Beyond, and How Laws are Made all match my curriculum and clarify these complicated processes into simple terms. I know my kids would love to match the states game under Interactive Games.

    This is a good site for information on the Federal government, and it is broken down by age levels. There are games and activities for each age level. There are also links at each age level to different government sites.

    This site is a WEALTH of information on the history of the United States. It includes letters, documents, photos, audio and video that are all in the public domain (and there fore also legal to use) since they are all owned by the U.S. government. Using the search box will yield many results. My favorite search on this site is to find primary sources about the great depression. A search tip: be sure to click "gallery view" when you look at your search results. It helps you know what type of source you are looking at.

    This site covers historical topics, contains historical images and has a special teacher page with lessons and materials that are ready to use in the classroom. I love this site and use it often especially when I need some extra material for historical holiday celebrations in the classroom.

    This website has loads of links to primary sources on US history. I like the flexibility of the "more browse options" to find collections by time period, place or source format in addition to the browse by topic option. Source formats include books, periodicals, photos and film, some dating back to the 1400's. The "today in history" link is a good place to find daily tidbits to throw into lessons.

    This site from the Library of Congress provides a vast collection of primary sources for educators. I like the way the site is organized so you can browse the collections by topic. One of the collection highlights is the Alfred Whital Stern Collection of Abraham Lincoln. This is a collection of more than 11,100 items donated to the Library of Congress in 1953. This collections includes Lincoln's life, Presidency, slavery, the Civil War, and Reconstruction. Primary sources available from the Lincoln era include newspapers, Lincoln's law papers, sheet music, broadsides, prints, cartoons, maps, drawings, letters, and campaign tickets.

    There is a lot on this website for students to search for primary and government documents. They are organized by topic or you can search for specifically what you need. This site is a great resource . There are many different ways you could use the documents found here.

    This site provides information that teachers from many different disciplines could use in their classrooms. There's information about literature, the environment, immigration, as well as culture and sports. There's also a link specifically for teachers where they can get lesson plans and ideas for their classroom.

    There are some great sites at this source. Their topics run from Women's history to Native American history. There are even maps. This would be a big help for upper elementary to 12th grade.
