REVIEW:
This site is exactly what it says it is -- a place for anyone doing research to find the information they need as easily as possible. The categories are sorted according to the approximate appropriate grade level which makes them valuable tools for teachers looking for lesson plan and curriculum ideas. The
information for each topic also notes the presence of downloadable or printable images for use as visual aids of school reports or projects. The variety of subjects and categories should allow most users to narrow in on a topic for a report, find background material for a story, begin research for a paper or just increase their knowledge of a particular topic. Besides links to educational subjects, there are also links to educational institutions, non-profit organizations, and other education related sites. With all the information and structure here it would be very easy for teachers to use all or part of this site in preparing lessons for a variety of subjects and classes as well as for students preparing reports.
