The Future (pbs)
http://pbskids.org/wayback/future/ This site looks to the future from the perspective of the 1950s. The site looks at consumer plastics, which took off in the '50s. A plastics engineer explains what life was like before plastics, what plastics might do in the future, and how plastics can be recycled. Site visitors can create virtual plastic products online in the Multi-Functional Plastics Production Lab or try some do-it-yourself experiments at home, like making slime. Kids can also compare job possibilities in 1950, today, and beyond. After taking a short quiz, they are presented with a fun range of possible types of occupations they might find interesting. And finally, kids can see predictions for the future made in 1950 -- and make their own! |

Assessment service for History research papers
http://www.tcr.org/nwb/index.htm The National Writing Board provides an external assessment service for the history research papers of high school students. We have evaluated papers from 30 states and two Canadian provinces. A three-page report is sent to the author, who may then decide which college admissions officers should receive it to add to the information they now have with which to evaluate an applicant. We have mailed our reports, at the request of the authors, to 73 college Deans of Admission. These papers are evaluated against an independent academic expository writing standard developed by The Concord Review, since 1987 the only quarterly journal in the world for the academic work of high school students writing in English. |

Using Historical Sources (Primary and Secondary)
http://campus.northpark.edu/history//Classes/Basics/UsingSources.html Using Historical Sources Historians get their information from two different kinds of sources: primary and secondary. Primary sources are first hand sources; secondary sources are second-hand sources. For example, suppose there had been a car accident. The description of the accident which a witness gives to the police is a primary source because it comes from someone actually there at the time. The story in the newspaper the next day is a secondary source because the reporter who wrote the story did not actually witness it. The reporter is presenting a way of understanding the accident or an interpretation.. |

History: A Guide for College Students
http://academic.bowdoin.edu/WritingGuides/ Reading, Writing, and Researching for History: A Guide for College Students For all who have taken history courses in college, the experience of writing a research paper is etched indelibly in memory: late nights before the paper is due, sitting in pale light in front of a computer monitor or typewriter, a huge stack of books (most of them all-too-recently acquired) propped next to the desk, drinking endless cups of coffee or bottles of Jolt cola. The assignment of preparing a research paper for a college-level history course is an important one which should not be neglected. In no other endeavor are so many history-related skills required of students. Just think of the steps required ... |

Footnotes to History - the small nations
http://www.buckyogi.com/footnotes/ Footnotes to History - the small nations The tidy four-color maps we see in atlases are misleading; the patchwork of nations we're used to seeing on the evening news are often convenient fictions. It's hard to point to a place anymore that is "Afghanistan", and it's harder to point to a reason why Afghanistan is still an important idea as opposed to ideas like "Taliban" or "Pathan". (NOTE- The above was written in 2000. For "Taliban", please substitute "Tajik"; I think you'll find it's still a valid concern.) States and power are fluid things, and no map ever shows the world as it truly is. The idea of the nation-state is a relatively young one, and in much of the world has not completely taken root. It is therefore unsurprising that the nations we see on maps often have a hard time asserting control over the territory that they have claimed. This work provides an overview of ephemeral states, micronations, secessionist states, and every other kind of country you never heard of in high school. From Maryland in Africa to the Republic of West Florida to the Centro-Caspian Dictatorship, I've included as many of the forgotten nations as I could find (and brother, I'm still lookin). history | gepgraphy | social studies | Gg | Hi | |

The Mary Rose
http://www.maryrose.org/ The Mary Rose is the only 16th century warship on display anywhere in the world. Built between 1509 and 1511, she was one of the first ships able to fire a broadside, and was a firm favourite of King Henry VIII. After a long and successful career, she sank accidentally during an engagement with the French fleet in 1545. Her rediscovery and raising were seminal events in the history of nautical archaeology. The Learning City is a unique Key Stage 2 History resource. This unit is based on life aboard the Mary Rose. Suitable for ages 7-11. Even if you're not studying history, there are some great pictures on this part of the site. Now with 3D Model preview! |
