    This site explains to kids how our government operates on their own level. The branches of government are explained, website links are included and there are games that can be played. There are great lessons that can be used for every grade.

    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.

    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 is a site with a terrific game about the travels of Lewis and Clark. When moving through each state, one must play a game to continue traveling. Not only is it fun, but there is a wealth of information given along the way. I will share this with the 4th grade teachers in my school.

    The U.S. Energy Information Administration provides this "Energy Kids" site. It defines energy in lots of different ways. It compares renewable and nonrenewable sources as well as potential and kinetic energy. It talks about different types of energy sources, the history of energy and even provides games and activities for kids.

    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 is a gov doc for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. It is geared for elementary age students with games and activities to learn how to prepare for and prevent disasters. There is a section for parent and teacher resources.

    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.

    An animated site geared toward elementary students with information on FEMA. Includes follow up quizzes, template for planning family disaster drills and an interactive map showing current FEMA efforts in U. S. disaster areas. Good companion to current events and science.

    What a fun site. The games were great because there were so many applications: SS, Science, Math and more. I loved seeing how the quarter was made and comparing and contrasting it to coins across the world. I've already used this site with my class, because a couple of my students filled out wanting to know more about other country's coins in the KWL for our current SS chapter. They LOVED seeing this!

    I was first attracted to this site because of the interactive game regarding healthy food choices. But there is so much more here such as a menu planner, a food pyramid tracker, podcasts for making healthy changes in diet, coloring sheets, worksheets, and other printed materials. I think any health teacher would love this site.

    This site is a trivia game which will also use research skills. If questions aren't answered correctly an address is given to connect with a page from the Smithsonian Institute. The answer can be found somewhere on that page. I think 5th graders would love the challenges presented and glean numerous interesting facts from the information presented.

    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!

    The Smithsonian has webpages for students, families, and teachers. The student site has primary sources in the format of pictures and video footage. They are called IdeaLabs on this site. The IdealLab I found interesting was the Walk on the Moon. It included a video footage from the Apollo landing on the moon and President Kennedy's address to the nation.

    This website organizes some of the Smithsonian Institution's vast resources into four topics for students to explore: art, science, history and people/places. There are incredible virtual tours, online interactive labs, games and activities. The site has an educator's section with lesson plans and a search feature to find resources by keyword, grade, and subject.

    Explore art, science, history, and people like never before. If you teach the solar system, plate tectonics, volcanoes, or rocks and minerals the Dynamic Earth site is for you. I was so impressed being able to go online and zoom in on hundreds of different rocks, minerals, and gems. Fascinating!

Name and describe the parts of the solar system. Describe the motion of objects in the sky such as sun, moon and planets. Develop an understanding of asteroids, meteoroids and comets in our solar system as well as stars beyond our solar system.
