Social Studies Websites

Here are only a few websites to further your understanding of our Social Studies topics this year:

Circle of Stories: This site uses documentary film, photography, artwork, and music to help tell a number of Native American stories. Native Americans narrate five of the stories. Lesson plans included on this site.http://www.pbs.org/circleofstories/ 

Great American Landmarks Adventure: From the National Parks Service, this virtual trip takes students back in time via a time machine to cave paintings from about 1500 years ago through space exploration in 1969. The 43 pictures can be printed and colored by the time travelers. *Note: If menu page won‟t load, go to „credits‟, and then to „step into adventure‟. http://www.nps.gov/history/hps/pad/adventure/landmark.htm

Congress For Kids: from website: “Congress for Kids gives you access to interactive, fun-filled experiences designed to help you learn about the foundation of our federal government and how its actions affect you. Although designed for students in grades fourth through high school, other students, teachers, parents, and interested citizens will find helpful, engaging activities, too.” http://congressforkids.net/index.htm 


You can find out more about specific topics of interest by doing  your own online investigations (with parental consent, of course).
