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 is a great source that has a list of artists/musicians from the Harlem Renaissance. It has direct links to the poems and audio links to the music. I would use this site in the study of History or literature during the Harlem Renaisaance.
This site has 100 of the top primary doucments in history. I would use this site in the study of the Civil War and link to the telegram that announces the surrender of Fort Sumter.
A fantastic site that has interactive videos and a written history of the Apollo missions. This site could be used in science with the study of rockets, planets, the moon, etc. It could also be used during History class with the study of the cold war and the space race.
This site has different links for all age groups including safety tips, a day in the life of an agent and FBI history. This site could be used in conjunction with literature where students could compare the day in the life of a real FBI agent compared to a fictional agent in a novel. It could also be used with the study of government.
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!
A great site for students to get to know 14 of the different National Parks. Students can click on one of the fourteen park sites and learn more about the park. There are also activities and games that go along with it. I would use this site in Social Studies when studying the United States.
This site gives census information on states, cities and towns throughout the country. It would be a great site to use for figuring percentages in math, comparing and contrasting different cities and states in geography.
A primary source site concerning the Nazi's murder of the mentally ill during World War II. I would use these primary documents during the study of WWII so students become more aware of Hitler's view of those who are disabled.
This site includes diaries, autobiographies and travel accounts from ex-slaves. I would use this site in the study of the Civil War to give the students a better understanding of what the slaves thought of their situation.
