Resources:
FirstGov
http://www.firstgov.gov/
FirstGov has become more of a directory-based site than a search engine,
enabling discovery of information with much more guidance than a blank
search box provides. It can search both state and federal, all states,
or selected states sites. And the federal sites include those that are
not in the .gov or .mil domains.
FirstGov for Kids
http://kids.gov/k_gov.htm
...links to information about different parts of the U.S. government.
Google Uncle Sam
http://www.google.com/unclesam
“search all .gov and .mil sites.” And that is what Google Uncle Sam
does. but remember that the .gov domain is not limited to the federal
government and not all federal government sites are under .gov or .mil.
Ben's Guide to U.S. Government for
Kids
http://bensguide.gpo.gov/
This great site is the educational component of GPO Access, the
Government Printing Office’s (GPO) free online service of official
Government information from all three branches of the U.S. Government.
Ben’s Guide provides information and activities specifically
tailored for educators, parents, and students in K-12. These resources
can help teach about our government and how it works. The site is
divided into 5 sections: grades K-2, grades 3-5, grades 6-8, grades
9-12, and Parents and Teachers.
