This page has countless primary documents and access to so many teacher resources. Nearly any topic you can think of that relates to American History will have some primary source documents available at this site.

I really like how user friendly this website is. It has a link to the 100 source documents, but they are also scrolling at the top of the page. I find that really fun and different. I think it would get the kids attention, and let them preview quickly. This site also has a download source book with key ideas for how to use the 100 milestone documents in the classroom.

This site focuses on primary documents of artchitects and architecture It has blueprints, photographs, and other documents. If you had a student completing research about a famous building or place, this would be a great place to look.

This site is jam-packed with information for girls around ages 8 on up.Learn all about your body, fitness, nutrition, illness and disability, drugs, feelings, relationships, bullying, safety, future life, and envionmental health. Textual format is easy to read with countless links provided. Actual photos displayed. In the fourth grade in Lincoln, our students learn all about their bodies with the girls and boys separated so this website would definitely be a place to direct our girls for further related information.

List of sites for your students that need help with projects ranging from virtual zoos to biomes. This also has great sources for wolves, dinosaurs, and backyard astronomy.

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.

This is a science source. This site will give other sources for your different science sites like dinosaurs, biomes, volcanoes, and earthquakes.

This is a gov doc created by the environmental protection agency that teaches students about the environment, recycling, and human impact on plants and animals. There are links to a student center for elementary and middle school students, a high school link and a resource area for teachers.

Here at Archiving Early America you will discover a wealth of resources - a unique array of primary source material from 18th Century America. Scenes and portraits from original newspapers, magazines, maps and writings come to life just as they appeared to this country's forebears more than 250 years ago.

This is a great learning tool for fourth graders on up to learn math skills of tables, graphs, maps, statistics, mean, median, mode and range.There are interactive learning activities that have excellent graphics in the games. I found the instructions easy to follow.

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 is a wonderful site that would be useful to school librarians or technology teachers to help plan lessons on internet use, using primary documents and media literacy.

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 links to information on some of the states. Nebraska is one of the states with a link and there is a wide variety of information included about the state.

While I directed my search to Nebraska once on this site, many of the other state sites that I checked out were really cool. I imagine upper elementary would benefit from this site for projects, but I could utilize this site in my Flat Stanley project. Flat Stanley is sent to my student's families in other states (countries) and we compare and contrast the physical geography, natural resources and climate. This site would allow me to do that while showing the students some specific historical/cultural aspects not experienced through typical research.

Stunning photographs of the harsh conditions of Antartica taken during a 1911-14 expedition. Photographs of many geological formations (ice caverns, ravines, sastugi), climate images (harsh winds, extreme cold), and scientific equipment used in biology, geology, and meteorology. K-12 resource.

This Library of Congress site would be fun to use as a bell work activity in upper elementary school. Each day a student could pick one event from "today in history" to share with the class. Informative with pictures!

Today in History is part of the Library of Congress' American Memory project. As the title implies, the site pulls a signicant event in history, reports about it and shows primary sources -- photos and documents -- attached to the event. The writers generally pick one or two topics for the day and elaborate on those. Excellent for upper grades.
