Social Studies Resources

The sites below offer FREE resources you can use to teach the local social studies curriculum. 

• http://www.kansasmemory.org/ :  Primary sources from the Kansas Historical Society.  This site allows you sing up for an account and create “folders” to organize your materials that you might use to teach difference units.  You can search by topic and if you have an account you can search by state standard (by clicking on the “Teachers” link at the top of the page. (Grades 5-12)
•  http://www.digitalvaults.org/# :  Search national archives for many primary sources. Students can then easily create posters and movies. You may save, email, or print student projects. (Grades 5-12) 
• http://www.newseum.org/todaysfrontpages/flash/ :  Allows you to get the front pages to newspapers around the World.  Great for current events. (Grades 8-12)
