    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!

    I love the visual approach to this website! This could be a great starting point for students to use to experience primary sources. The interactive activities let you use documents to create posters and movies. The pathways option lets you solve the paths that are created and also to create your own paths to share. Students would really love this kind of research!

    This site include LOTS of photographs and documents from historical events. They are described briefly and organized by tags. Interesting organizational format could teach not only about historical events, but also about the value of how good tags work. Visitors to the site are challenged to make their own "pathway" through the pictures and documents. Visitors can also make posters and movies with the content they find.

    Facts, trivia, history, comparisons to other states, maps, almanacs, and more on this kid friendly site. When searching 'primary sources' in their search field brings a ton of other topics connecting to all subject areas including Math, Science, etc. Lots of information and links that take kids to safe sites for further data on whatever they're interested in.

    This is one example of a lesson created using primary source docs and the organizational tools provided by docsteach. It was accessed from the National Archives website as a means to organize the data gathered there. I would use this idea as a springboard for fourth grade westward expansion activities.

    A subsearch of National Geographic. If you are looking for primary source photographs, these are beautiful. They have a direct link for downloading photos to Diigo. Many categories of photos. This particular site on rainforests would be useful to elementary school students doing research on environments, animal habitats, etc.

    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.

    A fabulous resource for primary source documents detailing important events in American history. The site links you to the actual document image, which students would love, and the explanation below. Over 100 original documents with live links. Also a tab for teacher resources. Great site for American history research.

    Though sponsored by Random House publishers, this site has a lot of primary source information on popular middle school author Gary Paulsen. Live video clip interviews, biographical information, book list, and synopsis of selected books too. If your Language Arts students are doing author letters or research, this is one site to access for some facts about Paulsen.

    I find Eleanor Roosevelt to be a fascinating person. I was excited to find this resource for primary sources written by Eleanor herself. She wrote the "My Day" column from 1936 to 1962. This site also contains a variety of speeches and writings of Mrs. Roosevelt. This site also has lesson plans for grades k-12 on Eleanor Roosevelt, Human Rights, and the 1960 John Kennedy presidental election.

    water cycle good visual for second grade; activities that highlight how much water we use, water treatment, and aquifer. Lincoln Public Schools - science - water and wetlands - grade 5 Describe the steps of the water cycle, including a description of water storage. Investigate and identify point and nonpoint sources of water pollution. Simulate the steps in the water treatment process.

    This is a primary source document . . . in Spanish! It is purported to be (as I'm no hispanohablante) a letter from 1570 that "describes the settlement at Ajacàn and requests that Juan de Hinistrosa, the Royal Treasurer of Cuba, send a ship of grain to sustain the settlement." This would be great for Spanish class, obviously, and then maybe for world history after the other students translate it. :-)

    This website is a great source to go to find information about Nebraska. It is the Nebraska Historical Society website. The site has many links that will lead to a wealth of information on the state of Nebraska

    This internet site provides a variety of resources for learning about the state history of Nebraska. Searching through the wide historical collections online, I discovered a wealth of photographs, maps and even information about individuals and families. The society does provide a specific "Teacher Materials" link. For fourth grade Nebraska social studies standards!

    This site offers teachers and students access to archival photos, documents, letters, video segments, maps, and a timeline that starts in the early 1500's

    I like the chronological organization of this website and the way authors have embedded primary sources into the text about Nebraska. I also appreciate they way the timeline focuses on "Nebraska Events and Themes" but also includes "National" and "International" events. With each event the site offers Teacher Activities with lesson plans, tools, and media to share with students.

    This site has everything Nebraska. Click on the Nebraska Time line and you are taken to a more detailed timeline for that period. Then click on an event and you are taken to a page with specific resources and information. There are also lesson plans to download for grades 4, 8, and 12. It is pretty easy to navigate this site.
