    This site explains disasters of all kids. It focuses on weather. hiss site would be useful when teaching weather and getting kids to understand the different aspects of weather. It's also good to know about the different kinds of disasters so you can be prepared! Kids love learning about different disasters they are unfamiliar with.

    This site gives information about Federal Emergency Management Agency. It provides links to games and interactive sites that help kids understand the agency, what it does, types of weather emergencies and how to be prepared for weather emergencies. This would be a good addition/extension to a weather unit in 3rd-5th science curriculum.

    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 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.

    This NASA site would be great for 4th and 5th grades. It talks about how NASA studies different parts of the Earth. It includes a "Picture of the Day" and a "Did You Know!" section. I also like how it include career ideas for kids to read about. I can see this being used as part of a learning station.

    This art site allows children to explore American Folk art, landscapes, abstract art, still life, and digital photography. Children are able to manipulate art to create their own pieces. Students can also create a tropical jungle. There are additional online resources for teachers, as well as a link to exhibits from the National Art Gallery.

    This page contains several art activities for children, including interactive art programs that allow students to create portraits or still life pictures. There is a link that allows students to search for specific artists or works. This site would be a good resource for art teachers, but English teachers could also use it to find different works of art that appeal to kids and could be used for descriptive writing assignments.

    This site is a great site for kids and teachers to go to! It is a site that focuses on the House of Representatives. Teachers and students can become more aware of its Members and their responsibilities while exploring. Some common questions that can be answered are: What is Congress? How are laws made? This site is available by age group. Each age group has a different level of understanding and new terminology to be learned.

    This website has primary sources and government documents on it. It is another portal site with a section devoted just to kids with links to government information, websites of government agencies for kids, a NASA page, and the health pyramid. It also has primary documents on the census dating back to 1790 which I thought was pretty neat.

    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.

    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.
