About Sites of the Week

Our goal is to save teachers time by finding a few great sites each week. Sometimes the sites are on suggested topics, other times they are on a theme or just deserve a look. All sites have been reviewed for their appropriateness.

e-Species Fact Sheets

Great site! Kids can select a continent and then read about endangered animals in that area of the world. Facts are clearly stated and would work well in a research report.

Great interactive site that captures students’ imagination. Produced by the British Museum, includes information in a story format as well as explorations and challenge-type questions for students to answer. Topics covered include Gods, Daily Life, Mummies, Temples and Trades.
